Medal of Honor heroes re-inducted into U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii

The U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii on Friday re-inducted two local war heroes into its Gallery of Heroes as Medal of Honor recipients. In 2022 Spc. 5th Class Dennis M. Fujii received the award for his actions during a rescue mission gone wrong, and Staff Sgt. Edward N. Kaneshiro received the award posthumously for his actions during a bloody ambush in Vietnam’s Kim Son Valley.
