Capt. Louis S. Zamperini, a decorated Army war
hero and Olympic athlete, overcame personal
struggles after his release as a WWII prisoner of
war on Kwajalein and in Japan, and would go on
to inspire generations of Americans.
A placard honoring Zamperini was recently re-
paired and is now prominently displayed upon
entry into the facility. The Kwajalein community
is proud to have Zamperini as the namesake for
the garrison’s dining facility.

moderate speeds from Sunday through most of next week.
Better chances for rain look to setup later next week as
the upper atmosphere becomes more supportive of deep
