Located in Waimea of the Big Island, Camp Tarawa is a memorial that commemorates the sacrifices made by American soldiers during World War II.

The battle of Tarawa was fought from 1943 to 1945 on the tiny island of Betio in the Pacific Ocean. This was a pivotal battle in World War II as it marked the first time that American forces has successfully invaded and captured a Japanese-held island. The battle was extremely bloody and resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, with over 6,000 Americans and Japanese troops killed in action. In the end, the American forces were victorious, and this victory helped pave the way for future successes in the Pacific Theater of Operations.

After the war, the decision was made to build a memorial at Camp Tarawa to honor all those who fought and lost their lives in this battle. The memorial was designed by architect Hideo Sasaki and completed in 1975. It consists of a concrete monument with bronze plaques that list the names of all those who died in battle and an impressive oceanfront view.
