Today was a pretty
historic day for me as I've never been back during this tim
e of the year since I left five years ago. And today makes
it relly special. In 1941, on this day of Dec. 7, was a day
of disaster as us "Kama'aina's" got bombed on by the Japan
ese army in the island of O'ahu. They snuck up and surprise
d the army men of Pearl Harbor and just blew away fellow co
-workers, fathers, friends and anyone that we knew @ that t
ime. I wasn't born @ that time but I always hear of stories
about how courageous these guys were. Some of em enlisted
to go up against their own kine and just blast away;
no pun intended. But the fact still remains, they went in w
ith the sole intention of redemption. They went in with a s
ole reason of being proud of where they live and not where
they're from. Thus the reason for being one of the most rec
ognized army battalions in both Hawaiian and U.S. history.
The 442'nd regiment. As a matter of fact, both Daniel Inouy
e and Sen. Akaka both served their time during that war. An
d I'm proud not only to have them as our congressmen, but t
o be from the islands. Hawaii has gone through a couple of
huge storms in the past and a historic war that is etched i
n history. But we stood strong. I'm gonna leave tonight by
giving a BIG MAHALO to those who have both helped in some w
ay or even inlisted in the army to make Hawaii what it is t
oday. Thank You Senators Akaka and Inouye for being courage
ous enough to fight for us. =)
