The annual Department of Defense Retirement and Service Awards Luncheon was held on Friday, September 24, 2010. This event honored State and Federal retirees in the department, and service award winners.

The luncheon was at the Hale Koa Hotel, Banyan Tree Showroom. At the event, retirees received a certificate and a wooden bowl. Towards the end of the program, retirees were given time to say a few words. Some had more than a few words to say.

The staff of the Human Resources Office (HRO) were in charge of planning these luncheons with CMSgt Debra Brownhill as the committee chair.  Always a great event.
