Maui's World War II Legacy-- Part 2

World War II related sites to see on the Hawaii island of Maui.

Camp Maui, near the town of Hai ku, today is a park. There are plaques and a monument commemorating the 4th Marine Division by "Giggle Hill" where many Marines spent time during the war with their girlfriends.

For Maui's civilians, "The war was not fought in a vacuum. Barbed wire lined its beaches and gas masks were required safety equipment. Black-out conditions were at night. Just three days after Pearl Harbor, martial law was declared on the island.

Liberties were curtailed and everything was under censorship. Photographers had to be registered and all film submitted to military censors.
