And the winners were…
In 2001, the Launa’Ole – Above All Others awards were born.
For the past 15 years, the Hawaii Air National Guard has held the Launa’Ole awards and our reputation continues to grow world-wide. Our nominees and award recipients and every one of our HIANG airmen, are part of a seven decade-long legacy. From humble beginnings to becoming an organization without rival.
