Letter: Hawaii observes Memorial Day its way

In response to Bruce Fink’s letter about lantern floating coverage, please know that there is more than one way to honor our military who died in battle (“Memorial Day is not lantern floating day,” Star-Advertiser, May  Opens in a new tab31) Opens in a new tab.

I am sure many of those lanterns bore names of those who served and died. This is Hawaii and we do things a little more differently as we are a very diverse community with many cultural traditions, no less deserving of recognition. And that is what I love about Hawaii.
