Maui Remembers on Memorial Day


Kaanapali Beach, Maya 22–In a special ceremony at noon–the traditional time for a chant–a pule (prayer) is chanted, a conch shell is blown, and guests are invited to pick a flower, descend to the beach, and release it to the waves to remember a love one or someone who died as a hero. A dad, his son, and daughters complete the memorable event at the Marriott on Maui. In Makawao, at veterans cemetery, the fallen were remembered with the placement of 2400 leis. The heavy surf creating monumental traffic kept us from going this year.
