Graybeards - Korean War Veterans Association

Aloha Chapter [144] Continues Mem
We continue to honor all the
fallen soldiers, living Korean
War veterans and their families,
and to help educate the community
in the 50th state about the history
of the Korean War.
Since 2004, we have assumed
the responsibilities of continuing
the Korean War Memorial
Ceremony every June 25th at the
National Memorial Cemetery of the
Pacific at Punchbowl. This year’s
60th anniversary was a joint venture
with the Consulate General of
the Republic of Korea in Honolulu
and KWVA Hawaii Chapter 1.
We were fortunate to have
Hawaii’s Governor, Linda Lingle,
the recently retired Chief Justice
Ronald T.Y. Moon, the first Korean-
American to serve as Chief Justice
of any Supreme Court in the
United States, and Mayor “Mufi”
Hannemann of Honolulu give their
remarks.
U.S. PACOM Commander
Admiral Robert F. Willard provided
the keynote speech. An enormous
number of wreaths were presented
at the ceremony to honor our
fallen comrades.
