Ewa Airfield Memorial

On the morning of December 7, 1941, the Pearl Harbor Naval Base was not the only military that came under attack. Located seven miles from Pearl Harbor, was the Marine Corps Air Station Ewa, which neighbored Naval Air Station Barbers Point. MCAS Ewa also came under attack that morning. Marines shot at the attacking aircraft, but four Marines paid the ultimate sacrifice, and 12 were injured. This marker commemorates the four fallen Marines.

The base served throughout World War II, and into the Korean Conflict, However, it was closed in 1952, and absorbed into NAS Barbers Point. Part of the airfield and aircraft revetments remain untouched, with a lot of overgrowth. Part of the former MCAS is now the Barbers Point Golf Course (opened in 1966), owned and operated by the US Navy.

Hickam Army Airfield, Schofield Barracks, and Wheeler Army Airfield also came under attack on this fateful day 84 years ago.
