On behalf of the Administration, the Lt. Governor presented Brigadier General Alexander Kozlov with a proclamation he co-signed with Governor Linda Lingle.
The presentation was part of a nationwide celebration of the Army Reserve’s 100 years of providing support to active-duty soldiers.
“When a crisis occurs, America counts on its military reserve forces as a vital part of its response, and here in Hawai‘i, that bond is particularly strong,” Lt. Governor Aiona said. “The people of Hawai‘i reflect with gratitude on the Reserve’s 100 years of courageous duty and offer our best wishes for the next century.”
The U.S. Army Reserve is established in approximately 1,100 communities around the nation and has 975 Army Reserve Centers in operation throughout the United States.
On April 23, an estimated 100 soldiers will be re-enlisted during an event at the U.S. Capitol in honor of the Army Reserve’s centennial celebration.
