I was not specifically aware of Hawaii's cultural heritage and the way it defines its citizens. Helps us better understand and appreciate our amazing President. How sad that there are those who would undermine and destroy him. Such mean spirited, ugly, miserable excuses for human beings.

I've learned much on the BOG in recent days, and I'm grateful there are DUers who share their support for and commitment to our President. The times I'm feeling a sense of despair for the future, all of you help lift me up to a place of health and hope.

Blessings and Mahalo!
