WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Who are "US" and what is "US HAWAIIANS"?
"US HAWAIIANS" is not racial, political,
militant .............. or even about ethnicity.
It's more... a feeling;
It's the special way the sun
shines on our little corner of
the planet, despite whatever
else is going on in the rest
of the world.
"US HAWAIIANS" is the ocean that encompasses our lifestyle. It's what makes us proud when calling this paradise home. It is a simple thing that deters us from littering, yet can magically cause
smiles from strangers to turn instantly into "good fun" laughter.
"As HAWAIIANS," we are humbled in the cost-free fragrance of Hawaii's flowers, and grow with intense pride in our desire to leave
nature as we found her, as she restores, renews, and recreates in
"US" the "SPIRIT OF ALOHA".
(essence of love)
ALOHA AINA
(love the land)
from
"US HAWAIIANS"
(WE THE PEOPLE...)
