Memorial Day

On Monday, May 29, 2023 (Memorial Day) we will gather at the Hassinger Memorial Columbarium in Makiki Cemetery to pay our annual tribute to our departed brethren. We of course will also be remembering the men and women in the military who died in service to our country. Our brief ceremony will begin at 9:00 a.m., and we’re usually done by about 10:00 o’clock.

We invite you and your family to join us. Members will be wearing Hawaiian Lodge’s summer uniform: palaka shirt with bolo tie, or a plain white dress shirt (short-sleeve is appropriate), dark trousers and shoes. Others may be dressed informally. Refreshments will be served, so we’d appreciate an email to let us know how many of you are coming.

For those of you who will be attending for the first time, Hassinger Columbarium is a small white structure near the corner of Pensacola Street and Wilder Avenue. Parking is limited on the street and in the cemetery.

Whether or not you are able to join us, we extend our prayers and best wishes to you, especially those who have recently lost a loved one. May you have a safe and wonderful summer.

Aloha,

Jonjie “JP” Punzalan
