In the past few episodes of History Traveler, we've been exploring the history of the Pearl Harbor attack on Dec 7, 1941. Many of the men who died on that still rest on the island of Oahu at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, better known as the "Punchbowl Cemetery". In addition to the victims of Pearl Harbor, the cemetery is also the final resting place of thousands of soldiers, sailors & Marines who fought from all points across the Pacific to push back against Japanese aggression. In this episode, we're exploring a few of those stories.
NOTE: At 22:22, I mistakenly said that George Cannon was on Wake Island. He was actually on the Midway Islands. Apologies for the error.

If you want to know all about how Joe Sarnoski earned his Medal of Honor the History Channel covered it in an episode of Dogfights. Season 1 episode 9 and is called "Long Odds" It even includes a recording of the pilot from the mission who came very close to losing his life too. It was the single most decorated mission by any flight crew of WWII.

I'm very confused. My Uncle Jesse Claire Fowler, was killed on Okinawa, May 20, 1945, and is buried in the Punchbowl. I've always wondered why he was buried there instead of Indiana. You said the first burial was 1949. Also, military records online show he died May 26, 1945... and he is listed as 4 Marines (plural) 6 Marine (singular). Can you explain any of this. Thank you for doing this video. I've only seen his grave online.

As an avid history lover, your show inspires me to never forget the tragedies of these wars and to have reverence for the fact that these extraordinary men were just your average citizens who displayed extraordinary fortitude when called upon. RIP to all these men featured in this video, for what it’s worth you inspire me to be a better man with my time in earth.

The family wanted him to have a military funeral, but was told the military needed several weeks notice to do so. Needless to say he wasn't given the honor he deserved.

I never cease to be humbled as I either walk among the fallen in person as I have done, or see their final resting places in videos like this. Each had hopes, dreams, loves, family and friends only to lose their lives all too soon. The pain and misery of those families with names must have been bad enough, but to never know must have been nearly unbearable. To live your life every day and to always wonder what happened to them or where they rest. I can imagine some people coming there and possibly standing unknowingly at the grave of their son, father or brother all because he was buried as an Unknown. Beautiful and serene places fit for heroes to rest with their comrades in arms, forever together.

You cover things in places I’ve seen videos on that they don’t cover. All the other creators just cover the same few things at every place “oh this is the memorial”. You go in depth and it’s absolutely insane how engrossed I get into your filmmaking and storytelling and I appreciate your videos more than you’ll ever know and one day hope to thank you in person, as I, as a broke mid 20s Texan on the border, will probably never go to any of these historical places I’ve dreamed of going to, and your videos give me the closest I can get to fulfilling those dreams… Keep them going man.

You do an amazing job with all the history you tell us of. It must be heartbreaking to be up close and personal to be on those sights. Thank you for all you do. I use to listen to talk radio when I'm driving, now I listen to you. I've learned so much. So keep up the great job. I don't get to look at the pictures all the time so I go back and watch your video at home. Peace & love.🙏💖😎

I have been to the Punch Bowl and Pearl Harbor. It was a very moving experience. My father served in WWII and was stationed at Pearl Harbor.

Another great video JD of the Bole cemetery. I've been there a few times with my parents during his time in Honolulu. Great series of the when and where our involvement in the the second World war really got started. I recall a gentleman who I took care of in a nursing home years ago and he absolutely refused to let any Asian aids to care for him. He was a solider of WWll and still very hateful with them.

Love your channel! Been watching as many of your videos as I can. Have you been to Grant's Tomb in NYC yet? If not, you'd love it. One of the Rangers there told us that it used to have as many visitors as The Statue of Liberty does today when it was first created. There's also tons of memorials on Riverside Drive, a WWII Memorial near Wall Street, Ellis Island, 911 Memorial, etc. It would make a great series of videos!!

Another outstanding video. I am so glad that you are sharing the history of Oahu in WWII with the viewers. I am sure that many either doesn't know the history, and/or won't have the opportunity to see it for themselves. We who live here take it for granted as we see it every day. You will like Guam; however, get ready for the heat and humidity (90's for both). Lots to see there also, although a lot smaller (26 miles long, 6 miles wide). I was stationed there for a couple of years; lots of history there.

I have visited the Punchbowl and my understanding is that only El's spacesuit is buried there. I'm glad you mentioned or showed all of the graves that I visited. Let's hope that when people visit in a thousand years that there will be no more soldiers than there are there now.

Great episode JD (as always). You should follow up on 2Lt. Sarnoski's Medal of Honor mission as a crew member on board the B-17 "Old 666" on June 16, 1943. He and pilot Jay Zeamer Jr were both awarded the MoH for this mission and the rest of the aircrew were each awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. They became the most highly decorated air crew for a single mission in WW2. This mission was featured on the History Channel TV series Dogfights in the episode titled "Long Odds." You have to watch it to fully understand what that crew miraculously pulled off. It was great of you to highlight his final resting place - truly one of the greatest of the Greatest Generation. Keep up the great work and always looking forward to your next release.

Thank you for this segment on the Punchbowl cemetery. My maternal grandfather (a WW2 US Navy officer) and grandmother (a Honolulu native) are both interred there. Every visit to Hawaii, I always stop and place flowers on their grave. I miss my grandparents very much.
