Today we are celebrating Veterans Day. At Ideum, we have been fortunate to collaborate on multiple projects that honor the men and women serving our country. This week, our video crew is traveling to Louisiana and Rhode Island to conduct two interviews for the "Pathway to Peace" exhibit, currently in development for the Battleship Missouri Memorial. These WWII veterans, who were present on the deck of the USS Missouri during Japan’s Surrender on September 2, 1945, will share their firsthand accounts of this historic moment. Their stories will further enrich the interview experience within the exhibit, adding to the interview with Mr. Ed Buffman (who is pictured in this post), and providing visitors with a profound and personal connection to one of history’s most pivotal events. As we prepare this exhibit to debut next year on the 80th anniversary of the Surrender, it is a profound honor to record these veterans’ voices. Preserving their memories ensures that future generations can learn from and appreciate the courage, resilience, and sacrifice of those who shaped the course of history.

Spend your Monday afternoon on the Fantail of the Battleship Missouri Memorial to honor and salute our heroes on Veterans Day. If you don't live in Hawaii, tune into our live stream on YouTube or Facebook. ??Free admission to all Pearl Harbor Historic Sites will be available for Active-Duty U.S. Military Members, Retirees, Dependents & Veterans on Monday in celebration of Veterans Day.
