Kauai Mayor Derek Kawakami expressed his gratitude to the Soldiers and Airmen of the Hawaii National Guard at Lihue Airport, Lihue, Kauai, May 28, 2020, when 58 Guard members departed Kauai to Oahu where they’ll out-process off orders and reunite with their families. 

With the combined leadership of Mayor Kawakami and Task Force Kauai Commander LTC Auredith Tumpap, these Guard members made a difference to the County’s response to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 including, but not limited to having provided an array of civil support services from temperature screenings of airport passengers, member of the community, assisting Kauai Police Department with security checkpoints, and helping out with local food distribution sites.
