December 28th from 4:00 to 8:00pm, 2004

Honolulu – December 15, 2004 – Stand Up For America (SUFA), announced today that it will be hosting a “Hawaii Honors the Hawaii National Guard 29th Brigade Ohana” event at the Waikiki Shell on Tuesday, December 28th from 4:00 to 8:00pm.

SUFA founder/president Mike Gabbard said, “The purpose of the event is to honor our brave, citizen soldiers and express our aloha to them and their families for the sacrifices they are making to protect and defend our country.”

The free “pau hana” event will include dinner for the soldiers and their families, entertainment by some of Hawaii’s top performing artists, such as Na Leo, Jake Shimabukuro and Leon & Malia, and fabulous door prizes.

Gabbard said, “This is a free event for all of our active military and their families only. Military IDs will be required to get in. We are asking for donations to make this great occasion a reality. We are grateful that the people of Hawaii have been so generous in their outpouring of aloha for our troops.”

Starting December 20th about 2000 soldiers from the 29th Brigade will be arriving home for the Christmas holidays from their training at Fort Bliss, Texas. They’ll be home for about ten days to visit with family and friends, then return to Ft. Polk, Louisiana for additional training before shipping out to Iraq in February.”

Stand Up For America was formed in 2001 in the wake of the September 11th tragedy and is a 501(C)3 non-profit, tax-exempt, non-partisan, educational organization that strives to promote unity and patriotism.
