The Garden Island is preparing a special “Aloha 299th” issue to be published on Wednesday, August 18.
The issue will feature a wrap-around full page yellow ribbon to honor and show support for our National Guard troops who are being deployed for training and a scheduled deployment in Iraq as part of the coalition forces now stationed in the Middle East. The yellow-ribbon page is being provided to readers of The Garden Island the same day as Mayor Bryan Baptiste’s rally for the troops at Vidinha Stadium in Lihu‘e that’s being called “Aloha 299th.”
