Review & FAQ:
The Guadalcanal American Memorial was constructed and dedicated in 1992 to the Americans and their allies who lost their lives during the Guadalcanal Campaign of World War II. Its opening marked the 50th anniversary of the Red Beach landings, which was the first major and successful United States Pacific offensive during World War II, but it had a grim cost. There were over 6,000 U.S., Australian, and Japanese service people who lost their lives that day, and this monument was made to honor and respect their incredible sacrifice. The memorial features four wooden boards pointing in the four directions where the battles were fought and five marble plaques featuring the names of ships lost.
