Military Appreciation Month May 1-31

I%26#39;m pleased to see that Hawaii honors our military with a month-long appreciation. (This non-military person wishes all of the states would do the same.)

I too extend my gratitude to our veterans. And thank you, Dusty, for serving our country at Pearl Harbor for five years.
