This weekend was very eventful. On Saturday morning, Senator Brian Kanno and I co-chaired an easter egg hunt in Village Park.
On Saturday night, my friend Stacey Hayashi I attended the premiere for a documentary on U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye at Pearl Harbor. The event took place on and around the U.S.S. Missouri.
On Sunday moring, I attended the 60th Anniversary of the 442nd Regimental Combat, a World War II unit made up of mostly Americans of Japanese ancestry. This is the most decorated unit ever. I was very emotionally touched to see all the veterans and the Congressional Medal of Honor awardees. That evening, I presented an award at the 6th Annual Hawaii Music Awards at Kapono's.
