O'ahu - Honolulu - Capitol District: Eternal Flame
The Eternal Flame was dedicated along the Hawai'i State Capital Mall on Beretania Street, between Punchbowl and Richard Streets, on October 28, 1972. The memorial, dedicated to the men and women of the Hawai'i who served in the United States Armed Forces, was designed by sculptor Bumpei Akaji along with landscape architect Frank Haines. It features an abstract, vertical, free-standing work, with bronze and copper curvilinear planes, topped with a gas-fed burning flame, atop a 40-foot wide circular concrete base embedded and divided into pie-shaped parts, with steps and ramps. Commissioned by the Pacific War Memorial Commission and funded by the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts at an estimated cost of $125,000, The Eternal Flame replaced an earlier memorial, which was moved to Keehi Lagoon.
