The Hawai‘i State Department of Defense once held their Awards and Retirement luncheons twice a year. These luncheons recognized retiring Federal and state employees. Current employees who achieved 10, 20, 30 or more years of longevity received service awards. Luncheons were held at the Hale Koa Hotel.

This photograph shows Vincent Ramos and Lester Ho at the April 17, 2009 luncheon. Vince was part of the KC-135 tanker maintenance team. Les was retiring from the then-154th Mission Support Flight.
