The Hawai‘i Air National Guard Honor Guard Program has served our community in countless functions since it started in 1999. Over the past two decades, TSgt Darrell Bactad, MSgt Ryan Yung and MSgt Dodie Pagaoa have commemorated the service of HIANG Airmen in hundreds of ceremonies, bestowing honor to those who have sacrificed for their country. For their voluntary and highly-disciplined services, they were each presented with a challenge coin from Brig. Gen. Dann S. Carlson, 154th Wing commander. 

We are proud to have so many selfless and devoted Airmen in our ‘Ohana and grateful to have this prestigious team that preserves our heritage. Mahalo for your commitment and being a part of this incredible team!
