Posted on Nov 29, 2021 in Uncategorized*Off the Hawaii Air National Guard Facebook page
Telling a story in the Hawaiian culture is an art and takes on many forms. Among those are music and hula, which runs deep in the culture of our Airmen.
Shown here is the HANG (Hawaii Air National Guard) ‘Ohana, comprised of our guardsmen, who have shared stories through song and dance throughout the generations.
“We played music, and the ladies danced for guard functions,” said retired Senior Master Sgt. Gordon Lau as he reflects on his past experiences. “It was good times representing the Air Guard in the community.”
Mahalo HANG ‘Ohana for keeping our culture alive!
