Thanks to Darrell Bactad for identification help and these comments.

This is one of the early photos of the Hawai‘i Air National Guard’s Honor Guard. This was about 2001/2002. We just did a photo opportunity with 154th Wing Public Affairs Office because it was the early years of the Honor Guard.

In the photograph are:

Thanks to all the Airmen who served with the Hawai‘i Air National Guard’s Honor Guard through the years. Their presence at ceremonies, especially funerals, add to the significance of the event. Again, thanks for your service.
