I attended the Jodo Mission of Hawaii Bon Dance on Friday, August 14 from 6:00 P.M. I did a little bit of MC work for the bon dance and then I greeted as much people as I could. My campaign team helped to cook barbecue beef, which we have done for the past several years. I saw Senator Carol Fukunaga (volunteering at a food booth), Councilwoman Ann Kobayashi, and Councilman Donovan Dela Cruz.
I was happy to see my friend Goro, one of a number of 100th Infantry Battalion members I hang out with once in awhile at Club 100, their headquarters. I look up to them.
