Mazie K. Hirono: “Outreach is really important and follow through.”

Today, my thoughts and aloha are with 1st Lt Feehan’s family, and the families of all the brave servicemembers killed and injured in this war.

I am proud to carry on this tradition of partnering with the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii to support our small businesses and show the rest of the country what the aloha spirit is all about.

Building and maintaining the strongest military in the world depends on giving every qualified servicemember a fair chance to meet the required standards to serve our country.

Politically motivated delays in the administration of grants jeopardize that critical work from being completed and run the risk of ruining those relationships and the Department’s ability to execute its mission in the future.
