“ Tonight our country has lost a
true American hero with the passing
of Sen. 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.”

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.

Home Lands effort.
Inouye was honored by NCAI in 1999
with the NCAI Leadership Award for his
service to Indian Country.
The official statement released by
Inouye’s office describes his long history
of military service:
“Sen. Inouye began his career in
public service at the age of 17 when he
enlisted in the U.S. Army shortly after
Imperial Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on
Dec. 7, 1941. 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. His actions during that
battle earned him the Medal of Honor.”
Inouye, a second-generation Japanese-
American, was a true son of Hawaii who
created a national legacy of leadership. His

in the U.S. House of Representatives, and
later the first in the U.S. Senate, blazed
a trail for the record number of Asian
Americans now serving in Congress.
Fourteen members were set to make
up the Congressional Asian Pacific
American Caucus in 2013, with five new
Asian-American and Pacific Islander
leaders elected to serve in the 113 th U.S.
Congress – the largest caucus of Asian-
American and Pacific Islander members
in any single congressional session.
The Capitol Rotunda saw Inouye
lie in state on Dec. 20, followed by a
funeral service at the National Cathedral
on Dec. 21. A final memorial service was
held in Hawaii at the National Memorial
Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu on
Dec. 23.
At the request of the family, a memo-
rial fund has been established to honor
the senator. The fund will be used to help
organizations and causes that he sup-
ported over the years. Contributions can
be made to the Daniel K. Inouye Fund
through its website at hawaiicommunity-
foundation.org.
