The Hawaii Army Museum Society in eList Hawaii Directory

The Hawai’i Army Museum Society was chartered as a non-profit corporation in 1976 to provide support for the development of the U.S. Army Museum at Fort DeRussy. Today, it continues that tradition by funding continuing exhibit development and improvements at the Museum, as well as the full operation and staffing of the Museum Store. Licensed to use facilities in Battery Randolph at Fort DeRussy, the Society operates as a private organization on government property under a Memorandum of Understanding with the United States Army. Net proceeds from the Society’s activities are used for the benefit of the Museum. The Society was established under the auspices of the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) and leading local businessmen in 1976 for the purpose of saving Battery Randolph and establishing the U.S. Army Museum of Hawai’i to preserve this historic location. The corporation was granted tax-exempt status as a charitable, non-profit organization in 1981. Mission and Purpose; The Society provides community leadership and financial support for the preservation of military history and the education of the public at large on the honor, valor and sacrifice of America’s fighting men and women in the defense of freedom. The paramount goal of the Society is to enlighten today’s children as well as adults on the lessons of the role the military has played in the Pacific to ensure the survival of democracy and the American way of life. The Society views its role as a key to producing future generations of Americans who will embody the values and spirit of those who have paved the way for the freedoms we enjoy today.
