HONOLULU (KHON2) — Gov. Josh Green held a Memorial Day Ceremony at the State Veterans Cemetery in Kaneʻohe, with this year’s theme being “Remember always.”
The ceremony also honored Honolulu City Councilman John Henry Felix, who died earlier this month, and his dedication to public service. Felix was a decorated war veteran and played a significant role in the creation of the State Veterans Cemetery.
“Though the sentiment is about the loss today, it really should be for what we have gained because of their service,” Green said.
Alongside spoken tributes, the ceremony included a presentation of wreaths from the various military branches and a rifle salute.
