This past Memorial Day Marine Sergeant Guy Ishii, son of resident George Ishii, presented Hale Makua with an American flag that was flown for Hale Makua in Iraq on behalf of Marine Sergeant Guy Ishii.
The certificate accompanying the flag and two medallions states: “This flag which flew over the 506th Expeditionary Communications Squadron during Operation Iraqi Freedom, stood as a symbol to the strength and courage of the men and women serving there. It also stood as a symbol to the sacrifice and support made by our friends and loved ones at home. This flag now stands as a symbol of our undying thanks and gratitude. This is to certify that the accompanying American Flag was proudly flown above Kirkuk Regional Air Base, Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom on the 4th Day of July and the 11th Day of September 2009."
George Ishii asked that the flag be proudly displayed in the neighborhood in which he resides. Visitors, staff, residents and families can view the flag with certificate and medallions on the Ilima Neighborhood.
