Following a day-long rally across the highway on Saturday, Feb. 28, a group entered property, proceeded past a large Army warning sign, and planted a protest flag. Some of the kids in that photo are grandparents today and might recall their participation.

    Mahalo, Ian. Each photo in this series is priceless. SO we’ll done! I’m so grateful you were there to give a face a time when we ALL stood up! Thankfully, some of us are still standing.
