Peter Apo wrote this commentary about the Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium. What many forget or don’t know it is a war memorial honoring those from World War I. Imagine a 100 years from now if a group want to dismantle the Korean War or Vietnam Memorials when no veterans are alive to defend it.

Peter Apo: Caretaking Our Precious Past
It’s been four governors, four mayors, and 35 years since the Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium was closed after years of neglect. With each new mayoral election a new round of political rhetoric ensues.
There’s no question that many people are tired of the years of bickering and some seem willing to risk even a bad political choice between demolition or restoration just to avoid another round of skewed political dialogue.
