This monument is a tribute to those Americans and their allies who participated in the Guadalcanal campaign from 7 August 1942 to 9 February 1943. It especially honors those soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen who fought and dies in the military campaign which led to the liberation of the Solomon Islands.
This remembrance was erected through the joint efforts of the Guadalcanal-Solomon Islands War memorial Foundation (U.S.A.) and the American Battle Monuments Commission.
May this memorial endure the ravages of time until the wind, rain and tropical storms wear away its face but never its memories.
