Hawaii Medal of Honor Ceremony
April 2007
  • Hawaii Medal of Honor Ceremony

    April 16, 2007. The Legislature held a Special Joint Session on the Senate Floor to honor the courageous men and women in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our state and our country. A hushed silence descended upon loved ones, guests, legislators, and members of the audience as one by one, the name of each fallen soldier, followed by a solitary ring from the memorial bell, echoed within the hallowed walls of the Chamber.

    The Hawaii Medal of Honor was established in 2005 by the Legislature as a means to formally acknowledge the heroism of those servicemembers with Hawaii ties who demonstrate the highest levels of heroism, going above and beyond to distinguish themselves in the line of duty.
