The Governor shared her appreciation for Rear Admiral Brice-O'Hara's strong leadership, as well as her initiative to show the people of Hawai`i a clear and unified command under times of pressure and great stress.
Governor Lingle also welcomed Rear Admiral Brown and his family back to Hawai`i. The Governor acknowledged Admiral Brown's strong background in engineering and shared her hopes that he, and Coast Guard District Fourteen, would partner with the State of Hawai`i to create more opportunities for students and civilians in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

The Fourteenth District's Search and Rescue area of responsibility covers nearly 12.2 million square miles of the Central Pacific Ocean.
