KAILUA – Capt. Shane Vickers, the commanding officer for Marine Wing Support Detachment 24 Marine Corps Base Hawaii, hands a yellow ribbon to students who have parents deployed overseas during an assembly held at Aikahi Elementary School in Kailua, Hawaii, April 8, 2016. April is the month of the military child and Aikahi Elementary School hosted its annual Yellow Ribbon Day event. Students were given yellow ribbons to hang in front of the school until their parent returns from deployment. This awareness month was established to give recognition the important role children play in the Armed Forces community. Parents and volunteers helped setup this event to acknowledge and honor the children who have family members in the military. The school had an assembly honoring the children, the Marine Forces, Pacific Party Band played music and Marine Wing Support Detachment 24 signed a contract with the school, to promising to support the school in an adopt-a-school program.
