• Today is Armed Forces Day. On this day, we honor our Nation's military.

  
  

  

  
  

  While on active duty, stationed on Oahu at Navcams Eastpac, Wahiawa (also known as Hele Manu), it was a big thing for my division to honor this day. Every year for the 3 I was stationed there, we would participate in the Armed Forces Day celebration, held at Barber's Point Naval Air Station (which was later closed down, due to former President Clinton's downsizing of the military). We had our own booth, but most of us were really there to enjoy the show put on by our Navy's Top Guns of the Blue Angels.

  
  

  Currently, there are still activities continuing in support of our troops. As an example of such is a military website, called Defend America. This site has links to many things we can participate in to offer assistance & donations to our active duty members. I know how alone I felt during my 7 years of service to this Nation. I know my feelings were shared by many others, so far from family, long-time friends & all that was familiar. That is still true today. So take some time to check into these to see what you can do to help support our people, giving so much of themselves to this Nation.
