Coping with Deployment over the Holidays

PEARL HARBOR HOLIDAY LIGHTS TOURS: FREE

SAPPER

ORNAMENTS

The U.S. Navy and National Park Service will be offering free evening boat tours of Pearl

Harbor that are open to the public on December 17-19, 2010. The tours will leave from and

return to the USS Arizona Memorial Visitor Center on a first-come, first-served basis on

December 18-20 from 6:00 through 8:15 P.M. The 30-minute tours will feature Christmas

music and the boats will pass through the harbor where the ships are decorated for the

Christmas season. This is a great opportunity for kids and adults to see warships and sub-

marines up close while aboard a 150 passenger tour boat. Tickets and parking are available

each evening starting at 5:15 P.M. at the USS Arizona Memorial Visitor Center, which is

located off of Kamehameha Highway near Richardson Field and the Aloha Stadium. Due

to enhanced security measures, handbags, purses, packs and other items that can conceal

weapons, are not allowed in the visitor center or aboard the tour boats. Do not leave valu-

ables in your car. Since it can become chilly, a light jacket or sweater is recommended.

This is a joint community service endeavor with the U.S. Navy, National Park Service

and volunteer support from the Pearl City Lions Club.

As we all know the Holiday season is upon us and this is a joyous and festive time of the year when we gather

with Family, friends and loved ones. For those experiencing a Deployment, this may be a difficult time of year

for Families and children. Check out this article on the Army One Source website, entitled "Coping with

Deployments Over the Holidays" and it provides tips on how to minimize stress during the Holidays. http://www.myarmyonesource.com/syn/news/id/78e4510cd1a7c210VgnVCM100000e61e0a0aRCRD
