http://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/01/politics/president-obama-climate-pacific-island-midway-atoll/ [...] The White House announced last week that Obama was quadrupling the size of the Papahanaumokuakea marine sanctuary, which includes Midway. Upon arriving Thursday shortly before noon, the President emerged from Air Force One and was met by Midway residents. "Let me start by saying that this is hallowed ground," Obama said, noting that this was the site of the 1942 Battle of Midway, where "a number of young men lost their lives here ... For us to be able to visit this monument and remind ourselves of the sailors and airmen and everyone involved who were able to rebuff the Japanese force, that was vastly outnumbered, is a testament to their courage and their perseverance." |
