Over 10,000 people from the Territory of Hawaii served the U.S. or its allies in the Great War. Over 10,000 men and women from the Territory of Hawaii served in “the Great War.”
Some served in the Hawaii National Guard, some served with the Red Cross, and some donated whatever money they could spare to help orphans in faraway places like Belgium and France.
Some moved to the U.S. Mainland in order to go to Europe to fight on the front lines.
Some never came home.
No matter the sacrifice or the story, all of these men and women deserve to be remembered. That is why we’ve started this effort to reconnect our present with our past, to remember those who served, to research them, and to share their stories.
