Aloha to Fort Shafter and Palm Circle

Fort Shafter is the oldest military installation on Oahu.  It sits atop a ridge line, overlooking Honolulu and Pearl Harbor.

The highlight is Palm Circle with its parade ground and plantation houses.

The houses are assigned to the general officers, including the Australian liaison to Pacific Command.

The palm trees line the circular road around the parade field ...

... perfect location for retirement ceremonies, as featured in an episode of H50 (at this link).

Palm Circle was also featured in the movie PEARL HARBOR with Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale.  Do you have a favorite "war" movie - any decade?   One randomly selected commenter from this week's blogs wins a book choice from my convention stash.  This giveaway is open to all readers.  Comments are open through Saturday, May 11, 10 pm in Hawaii.  I'll post the winner on Sunday, May 12, at The Reading Reviewer (at this link).

Mahalo,

Kim in Hawaii
