The Snapshots in Time Collection
Off-Duty Serviceman Wading in the Surf, Hawaii, World War II Era
A serviceman enjoys a rare moment of leisure, wading in the warm waters off Oahu during World War II. Snapshots like this one, preserved in personal photo albums, capture the everyday human side of military service in the Hawaiian Islands - the friendships, downtime, and natural beauty that offered respite between duties in the Pacific Theater.
