Thanksgiving Luncheon
Steve Hansen, General Manager
Thanksgiving and Veteran’s Day are both in the month of
November. This week, during a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol,
a Congressional Gold Medal was presented to honor the
contributions of the more than 260,000 Filipino and Filipino-
American soldiers during World War II. On July 26, 1941,
President Franklin D. Roosevelt called into service all “organized military
forces” of the former U.S. colony; among those that responded were the
Philippine Commonwealth Army and the Philippine Scouts.
It’s a recognition that comes seven decades after these very same vets were
denied benefits promised for their service. Filipino vets, many in their 80s and
90s, along with family members of surviving and deceased veterans were
among the hundreds who attended the ceremony held Wednesday, October
25, 2017 at the Nations Capitol.
The bill to grant the Gold Medal, was introduced by Senator. Mazie K.
Hirono and Representative Tulsi Gabbard, both from Hawaii and both in
attendance at the ceremony. (Yay, for the home team!) The bill passed the
Senate and House last year and President Barack Obama signed it into law in
December.
“They battled not only the enemy, but they battled starvation and
malnutrition,” House Speaker Paul Ryan said. “But they never lost sight of
the cause, and they never accepted defeat.” Other combat outfits that have
been awarded this honor for their service include: Japanese-American Nisei
soldiers of World War II Montford Point Marines, the first African-American
U.S. Marines, The 65th Infantry Regiment Borinqueneers of Puerto Rico.
At Wednesday’s ceremony, spokesperson Celestino Almeda, a 100-year-old
Filipino veteran said, “Many have passed away waiting 75 years for this time
to come. I am an American soldier, I am a warrior and a member of a team
and I believe I served the people of the United States.” He also thanked his
fellow soldiers, including those who could not be there, “for sharing this
glorious day.”
He closed with “As the saying goes, old soldiers never
die, they just fade away, thank you all — and God bless
America.” He said, to applause and a standing ovation.

November 2017 Important Dates
The Chado Urasenke Tankokai Maui Association will conduct a Kencha-shiki (traditional Japanese memorial
tea ceremony) in honor and memory of Hideko (Heidi) Zwick. Using many of the tea ceremony items generously
donated to Roselani Place by Ed and Heidi Zwick. There will be sweets and matcha green tea for attendees. Music
will be provided on the Koto, the traditional Japanese stringed instrument.
Urasenke is one of three major schools (methods) of Japan’s tea ceremony, and Maui’s Urasenke tea club was first
established in 1988 at the Rinzai Zen Mission, in Paia. The club was formally recognized by the Grand Tea Master
from Kyoto, Sen Soshitsu XV, upon his visit to Paia in 1990. He again honored Maui’s tea association with visits
to Paia for their 15th and 25th anniversaries in 2005 and 2015. The association’s seven members meet every month
to practice the way of tea under the motto of “Peacefulness through a bowl of tea”, and they have offered many tea
ceremonies and demonstrations for the public for various occasions on Maui.
Roselani Place’s manager, Steve Hansen, was introduced to Maui’s tea association in the early 2000’s, when he
was invited to a tea ceremony at the association’s “headquarters”, near the previous Nagata grocery store on Hana
Highway in Paia. Article sumitted by Bruce J Purvis, MD.
