The National Museum of the Pacific War is dedicated to perpetuating the memory of the Pacific Theater of WWII in order that the sacrifices of those who contributed to our victory may never be forgotten. The Japanese Garden of Peace is a gift from the military leaders of Japan to the people of the United States, in honor of Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz. The Memorial Courtyard is ringed by beautiful old limestone walls that hold plaques honoring the contributions of individuals, ships and units during the war in the Pacific. The Admiral Nimitz Museum is located in the historic Nimitz Hotel. Admiral Nimitz lived in the hotel, owned by his grandfather, during his early childhood. Plaza of Presidents is a striking outdoor tribute to the ten American presidents who served in the armed forces during WWII. The George H.W. Bush Gallery re-opened to the public on December 7, 2009.
