This undated photograph shows members of the Hawaii Air National Guard Honor Guard. The photograph was taken near the Missing Man monument.

We asked Darrell Bactad for assistance with member identification and comments: 

Yes, this is one of the early photos of the HIANG Honor Guard. This was about 2001/2002. We just did a photo op with 154th Wing Public Affairs because it was the early years of the HIANG Honor Guard.
