Difficult to say goodbye to U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye

U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye lying in state at the Hawaii State Capitol.

On Saturday, December 22, 2012, after a Christmas Party with friends in Hawaii Kai, my cousin Grant Karamatsu and I went to the Hawaii State Capitol from 11:30 P.M. to a little past midnight to pray to and thank U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye. I became teary when the soldiers escorted the casket away.
