Wounded Warrior Ohana teamed up with the Honolulu Country Club to host a holiday gala for more than 300 warriors and their families. The festivities included live music, a gingerbread-making contest, personal gifts for each child, door prizes, costumed characters, face-painting, balloon animals and a delicious buffet dinner. The photos with Santa Claus were quite a hit and each family took home a framed photo. The joy on the children’s faces was thrilling and even the single veterans had an amazing afternoon. Mahalo to the Honolulu Country Club, AAFES, Liberty Bells, Iolani School’s Raiders for Wounded Warriors and the many people who helped make the event possible.
