World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument, National monument sites in Alaska, California, and Hawaii, United States

This monument comprises sites at three different locations that commemorate military operations in the Pacific during World War II. At each location, visitors find preserved structures, memorials, and information centers that explain what happened during that period.

These locations emerged following the attack on Pearl Harbor and document the war that the United States fought across the Pacific. They include battlefields in Alaska and occupation sites that show how far the conflict extended northward.

The Tule Lake site in Modoc County marks the largest of the camps where Japanese Americans were interned during the war; it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006. The Thule Lake Municipal Airport now lies within the former camp area, and much of the land is privately owned. In Hawaii, the sunken hulls of the Arizona, Utah and Oklahoma stay under US Navy jurisdiction, while only the memorials above them belong to the park service.

The nine sites lie in three states: Pearl Harbor on Oahu, three Aleutian sites in the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, and Tule Lake in Modoc County, northeastern California. The Alaska sites are remote, so large visitor numbers are not expected there. Tule Lake is largely privately owned, and the Tule Lake Municipal Airport lies in the middle of the former camp area.

The Atka B-24D Liberator crash site on Atka Island is one of the monument's Alaska units, managed within the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. The bomber came down on the island during the war, and its wreckage lies where it fell, far from any road or settlement.
