A "yearbook", if you will, from 417th Bomb Group in the South-West Pacific 1944-45: I also found these 4 medals, from the Pacific Theater, belonging to a young man named Hansen. Finding things like these just breaks my heart. Is there really no one left to look after these medals awarded to a young man, who left home, to fight for our freedom, in a world so far away? I will mount these, frame them & hang them in The Mauna Kai Lounge. At least, as long as I'm around, Mr. Hansen will not be forgotten. A coupla pieces of sheet music: Three snapshots, taken by servicemen: A copy of Leatherneck magazine with a killer piece of cover art: There are major changes in store for The Mauna Kai Lounge, in 2014. These pieces will be integrated into the layering, as the revamping progresses.
