An Eagle Project continues - Hickam Heritage Trail

Volunteers continued with the Eagle Scout Project to create the Hickam Heritage Trail.   From the Missing Man Formation, the scouts marked a trail along Vickers Avenue.

The historic hangers in Art Deco are now home of several squadrons.

The hangers lead to the Big Barracks - home of 3000 airmen on December 7, 1941.

The Japanese bombed the Big Barracks and Hickam Airfield.   The building is now the headquarters for Pacific Air Forces, but it maintained the strafing marks to honor its history.

The Japanese Zeroes aimed for the building interior ...

 ... this metal stair case still has the bullet holes.

   

The Big Barracks hosts the Courtyard of Heroes to remember those who served in World War II, Korea, and Southeast Asia.

  

  
Above is the original flag that flew on the Hickam Flagpole on December 7, 1941.   We still have one more segment of the trail ... stay tuned for more photos!
