World War II.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
H.R. 4300 authorizes Pacific Historic Parks, a nonprofit National
Park Service cooperating association, to establish a commemorative
display at Pearl Harbor to honor service members who served in
the Pacific Theater during World War II. H.R. 4300 provides a
long-overdue place for people to visit and reflect upon the more
than 150,000 Americans and allied soldiers whose lives were lost
in the Pacific Theater during World War II. No federal funds may
be used to pay for or maintain the display.
The bill's short title recognizes the significant role that Admiral
Lloyd R. Joe Vasey has played in advocating for this memorial.
After graduating from the Naval Academy in June 1939 Admiral
Vasey had a long and distinguished Navy career. Admiral Vasey
