The Tropic Lighting Museum

I grew up as a military brat and my father was part of the 25^th Infantry Division. He served in Viet Nam with them after the Tet offensive. I enjoy military history and being as my father served with this unit, I decided to make the trip out here to the museum and the Kolekole pass where the first Japanese planes were spotted during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The 25^th was was activated at Schofield Barracks, Territory of Hawaii, October 1, 1941, along with the now deactivated 24^th Infantry Division. Both divisions were comprised of elements from the famous Hawaiian Division.
The museum has displays from the various campaigns that the 25^th served in including WWII, Guadal Canal, Phillipines, the occupation of Japan, Korea, Viet Nam and the current wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The museum has weapons, uniforms and gear from the various campaigns and are clearly displayed. They also have tanks, canons and anti-​aircraft guns in front of the museum. The museum will never be popular with most tourists, but will be mainly of interest to people who are interested in the military history and the Army’s formation in Oahu.
The Divisions motto is Ready to Strike! Anytime. Anywhere.
