Pearl Harbor (after visiting hours)

This is something I never knew.  I felt that you, too, might enjoy seeing this.

And Doug Lawhorn provided "the rest of the story":

When it was being built they were about out of money.  They were in the neighborhood of $64,000 short.  Elvis Presley was taking the tour on this memorial and he found out about the shortage of funds.  Supposedly he grabbed his checkbook and wrote it for the amount needed, thus, allowing for the completion of this tremendous honored edifice to become a realty.  If or when you are close enough to Pearl Harbor you should definitely make this one of your choices to visit.
