One HUGE difference I have noticed while living in Hawaii is the large presence of military culture and military life on the island. Hawaii is full of military bases, special military hotels (goodness I work at one!), stores for the military, and special programs just for military families. It seems that nearly everyone living here is in some way related to a soldier in a close way- brother, sister, father, son.
This past Wednesday we had a special Veteran's Day Ceremony to honor the vet's and nearly 250 people showed up at our little event on top of the volcano. I was a co-Master of Ceremonies with a Sergeant from Hilo, HI.
