So I have one for the board:

J! is currently (week of 8/22/16) rebroadcasting last year's teachers tournament. On Tuesday asked for the two neighboring national monuments that represent the beginning and ending of WWII

I wasn't home and my wife wrote this down for me, but she forgot to write down the correct response (it's so hard to get good help).

I said it was the Battleships Arizona and Missouri. She said she didn't remember the correct response but that Arizona was correct and Missouri was incorrect.

Any help out there?
