The Hawaii few people know
BY GEORGE OXFORD MILLER Posted Friday, May 18, 2007
Viewed from the 1,700-foot cliff, Kalaupapa looks like a travel brochure version of paradise. The volcanic peninsula stretches out below the tallest sea cliffs in the Pacific like a puddle of spilled emerald paint. Coconut-tree beaches frame the finger of land against the rolling turquoise surf.

Hawaii Army Museum 'Living History Day' Scheduled for May 19
By Bill Bigelow, 5/13/2007 9:56:55 PM
The U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii will host 232 Years of military history when it presents “Living History Day” from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 19th, which is also Armed Forces Day. This event is totally FREE and presented for the education and enjoyment of the general public.
Various groups will gather at Historic Battery Randolph on the grounds of Fort DeRussy in Waikiki to commemorate, educate, entertain, and present hands-on exhibits of weapons, equipment, and insignia from ancient Hawaii to the present day. Participating organizations will include: the 25th Infantry Division; the Hawaii Historic Arms Association; the Hawaii Military Vehicle Preservation Association; the Celtic Pipes and Drums of Hawaii; the Civil War Roundtable; Ka Pa Lua Hawaii; and Birds of Paradise (aircraft modelers). Special arrangements have been made for the unique performance of the “Old Guard” Fife and Drum Corps, one of the U.S. Army’s premier musical organizations, at 11 a.m. that morning. (NOTE: This group performed for the Queen of England at the recent 400th anniversary of the first European settlement in America, at Jamestown, Virginia).
Historic military vehicles and current U.S. Army equipment will complement the museum’s tanks and Monarchy-era cannon. Various re-enactors will share the history behind their uniforms, equipment, and weapons. Musical groups will serenade visitors with traditional music and dances and Ka Pa Lua Hawaii will demonstrate ancient Hawaiian fighting arts. Large-scale, working, vintage-aircraft models will also be on display.
A special showing of classic films will be in the newly renovated U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pacific Regional Visitor Center on the second floor of the museum. The Visitor Center highlights the work of the Army Corps of Engineers in Hawaii and the entire Pacific region. Both static and interactive displays tells the engineers story.
The general public is welcome to tour the museum, visit an author’s book-signing table, browse in the museum shop, and enjoy all the Living History displays on the lawn. Validated Parking is available in the lot across from the Museum.
Bill Bigelow is the spokesperson for this event.
