We invite you to join us in historic Hangar 79 for this year’s For Love of Country Gala on Saturday, Presented by Dr. Janice A. Nielsen, December 5, 2026. Together, we will gather for a momentous occasion to commemorate the 85th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. It will be a night to honor the extraordinary courage of our Greatest Generation and celebrate the enduring spirit that continues to guide our future.
The evening also marks a special milestone as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum. This anniversary is a tribute to supporters like you who have helped us steward America’s WWII aviation battlefield for two decades.
All proceeds will benefit Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum’s mission to steward and to honor those who have defended our freedom. Your generosity ensures their stories continue to educate and inspire generations to come.
