Daniel Inouye. The second- longest serving senator in the history of the chamber, Danny represented the people of Hawaii in Congress from the moment they joined the Union. In Washington, he worked to strengthen our military, forge bipartisan consensus and hold those of us in government accountable to the people we were elected to serve. But it was his incredible bravery during World War II – including one heroic effort that cost him his arm but earned him the Medal of Honor – that made Danny not just a colleague and a mentor, but someone revered by all of us lucky enough to know him. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Inouye family.” employee of the Year Robin Limbert employee of the Quarter Kelly Lane RobinLimbert•HeadStartTeacher•EmployeeoftheYear Performance Bonuses From the nomination form: Robin spends a lot of time making sure each child has the emotional and social skills needed. She goes out of her way to make sure she acknowledges each child by telling them a little something they may know. The amount of effort and care she puts into her job and the Head Start program is exceptional. Robin is not only a resource for parents and children during the Head Start years but beyond, she is a pillar in the community and our Head Start program would not be nearly as great without her.

He served with ‘E’ company of the 442 Regimental Combat Team, a group consisting entirely of Americans of Japanese ancestry. Sen. Inouye lost his arm charging a series of machine gun nests on a hill in San Terenzo, Italy, on April 21, 1945.
