    Akaka Attends Deployment Ceremony for Hawaii National Guard Soldiers at Texas Base

    Senator Akaka said: "Each and every troop member needs to know that while they are away protecting and defending our nation that their loved ones will be treated and cared for as part of our ohana or family.  Too often, the large and small sacrifices of our military family members go unrecognized.  However, their efforts to sustain our troops are a vital part of our military's success and I value and am humbled by their contributions. 

    "I once again want to thank you for your courage, perseverance, and patriotism, and wish you my Aloha pumehana, my warmest Aloha during your deployment.  I will pray for your safe and swift return.  I know that the mission in Iraq and Kuwait will benefit greatly from your presence.  For the second time in three years, the members of the 29th BCT are answering the call.  You make us all very proud, and I salute you."
