MSG "BIG" JIM KOANUI, Operation, Sergeant for the 1st Bn, 487th Arty, recently celebrated his 20 years' service in the Hawaii Army National Guard by assisting the State and County engineers on Kauai in building a Bailey Bridge in Lumahai. The communities in the northern part of Kauai were isolated from the rest of the island when the Lumahai bridge collapsed during heavy flooding. A request was sent from Kauai County officials to Civil Defense headquarters at Fort Ruger for a Bailey Bridge expert. Koanui, who works for the City and County of Honolulu as an engineer's aid, was given the okay to go to Kauai and give technical assistance on the building of the bridge by his boss, Chief Engineer, Yoshie Kunimoto. With the cooperation of the Combat Engineer Platoon of the 7th Marines, who were training at Kokee, and under the technical direction of MSG Koanui, the bridge was built within 7 days. Pictured in the foreground the new bridge being constructed which will eventually replace the Bailey Bridge.
