My father served on a destroyer in the South Pacific during WWII, and it was berthed in Pearl Harbor before setting sail for Tarawa and other engagements. Some years ago, my sister and I took my father back to Hawaii on our own “Honor Flight” to visit Pearl Harbor, Punchbowl National Cemetery and other places from my father’s time in the Navy. So, it was especially meaningful to me that the “Hawaii” edition of the Navitimer was still available, as it brings back a great memory of that trip with my father to honor his service.
