April celebrates National Volunteer Month, we would like to take a moment to highlight all of our volunteers both past and present! In 1974, President Richard Nixon established National Volunteer Week in an effort to honor and promote volunteerism. It was not until 1991 that President George H.W. Bush announced that April would become a month dedicated to inspiring people to volunteer across the nation as part of his 1,000 Points of Light campaign....

Its #NationalVolunteerWeek Did you Mo the USS Missouri Memorial Association is a registered 501(c)3 and receives the bulk of its funding through admission sales? With the closures to our decks for the majority of 2020 due to COVID-19, things have not been the same. Now more than ever, we welcome volunteers to step up and stand in to keep America’s last battleship in ship shape.
No experience required, but if you are proficient in construction, painting and other skilled work, that’s a bonus! Due to the ongoing pandemic, we ask all volunteers to wear a mask and practice social distancing. Individuals and organizations interested in volunteering, please email Keven Williamson at [email protected].

Following the attack, Missouri’s Commanding Officer, Captain William Callaghan, gave the order to remove the pilot’s body from the deck and take it below in preparation for a military burial. That night, crewmembers sewed together a Japanese Naval ensign: a rising sun represented by a red disc with sixteen rays.
The next morning, on 12 April 1945, the young Japanese pilot was given a military burial. Following Navy protocol, the burial consisted of a firing party, casket bearers, and a bugler. The remains were placed beneath the crew-made Japanese flag. At 0900 Chaplain Faulk spoke the words “We commit his body to the deep '' which was followed by a three-volley salute from the firing party while the bugler played Taps.
Just moments before its impact, photographer Buster Campbell was able to capture this historic shot of the Japanese A6M "Zero" Kamikaze. The next morning, a singular act of human compassion under the command of Capt. William M. Callaghan was brought out. The officers and crew of the USS Missouri gathered the remains of the pilot, prepared a Japanese flag, fired their weapons into the sky, and gave the pilot a proper burial at sea with full military honors.
Even in the midst of a raging war, humanity could still be found.

On this day, 30 years ago, following USS Missouri’s (BB 63) bombardment of Faylaka Island during Operation Desert Storm, hundreds of Iraqi soldiers wave white flags and surrender to the battleship’s Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) flying overhead.
Here is a fan favorite tribute shared by Senor Alec Thompson - commemorating the Missouri's role and call to action during Operation Desert Storm.
THE MISSOURIAN HEADLINE: “’Mighty Mo’ enters ground war with a bang”
#OnThisDay February 27, 1991: “Mighty Mo” enters the ground war with a bang. The night before the ship bombarded Faylaka Island and steadily pounded 11 targets. The next morning, she unleashed her biggest barrages hitting targets outside Kuwait City. This got the attention of the enemy when soon we heard the announcement; “missile inbound, brace for shock”. The missile believed to be a Silkworm got as close as 500 yards before the HMS Gloucester took the missile down. #GulfWar30 (The Missourian courtesy of the Tim Soboleski collection, 2020.016.074)

THE MISSOURIAN HEADLINE: “Fill her up Mac…DFM if you don’t mind”
#OnThisDay February 22, 1991: “Fill her up!” The Mighty Mo was the neighborhood filling station. With oilers tending to other ships in the area, Missouri was quite capable the last few days of filling up the USS Curts, USS Fife, USS Horne and USS Jarrett. Sailors from the ship’s Oil and Water Lab are involved with fueling operations. They prepare an information sheet that is sent to the receiving ship to tell the condition of the fuel before a drop is even sent. #GulfWar30 (The Missourian courtesy of the Tim Soboleski collection, 2020.016.072)

Since opening in January 1999, the Battleship Missouri Memorial has attracted more than 9-million visitors from around the world with a fascinating tour experience showcasing the USS Missouri’s unique place in history. Located a mere ship’s length from the USS Arizona Memorial, the Mighty Mo completes a historical visitor experience that begins with the “day of infamy” and sinking of the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and ends with Japan’s formal surrender aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945.
The USS Missouri had an astounding career over five decades and three wars – World War II, the Korean War, and Desert Storm – after which it was decommissioned and donated to the USS Missouri Memorial Association, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Association operates the Battleship Missouri Memorial as a historic attraction and oversees her care and preservation with the support of visitors, memberships, grants, and donations.
The Battleship Missouri Memorial is temporarily closed until further notice. For information or reservations, call 808-455-1600 or visit ussmissouri.org
