I love History, Video Games, Swimming, and Yuna Kim! (God Save the Queen! ❤️🌸👑) I also love my adopted home (Hawai’i Nei) and my home Island (Guåhan).
Those little moments that bring us big joy.

Aloha 😊🌈🤙🏼

“It’s one thing to win a revolution. It’s quite another to avoid a dictatorship, and create a system of government that preserves the freedoms for which people fought.”

I too do not believe that people should bet against America.

Not yet.

But the people who gamble the most on America are not its citizens.

It is its immigrants.

If they stop betting on America…Game Over.

Aloha 🇺🇸🙏🏼

Lovely day today Laura!

Watched “Nuremberg,” today, caught the Ala Moana twilight, and now finishing “Death By Lightning.”

Good weekend for History stuff!

There is always a kind word or a kind deed that we can do for someone.

For that person, that kind word or deed makes all the difference in the world.

The rest is up to us.

A tragedy that this man was assasinated.

If he had survived, America may have become a different country.

There may not have been a President McKinley.

The 22nd had already experienced heavy fighting during the War, notably at Gaines Mill, where it lost its commander and over 300 of its members (including 177 captured).

Originally from Hilo, Hawai’i (at the time called “The Sandwich Islands”), Pitman was attending school in Boston when he decided to run away in August of 1862 and enlist in the 22nd Massachusetts (aka “Henry Wilson’s Regiment”).

Yuna has this deep, penetrating look whenever she looks serious.

It is incredibly beautiful.

Foreign navies also render honors at the Arizona Memorial whenever they enter Pearl Harbor.

That too is a powerful reminder of America’s global prestige, prestige earned not by bluster but by sacrifice, by quiet and humble service.

One of the more poignant traditions unique to Hawai’i is the “manning of the rails” by members of the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine whenever a ship passes the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.

Not a war film, but it is a film that depicts the high risk missions that the men and women in our military often face.
