Renaming of
Waianae Army Recreation Center
Hawaii's first Medal of Honor
recipient, Pvt. 1st Class Herbert Kaili Pililaau, received
another honor on December 12th when the Waianae Army
Recreation Center is named after him.
Private
Pilila‘au
was born in Wai‘anae,
Hawai‘i
on October 10, 1928. He joined the Army and was sent to
Pia-ri, Korea. On September 17, 1951, only days before his
23rd birthday, Private Pililaau lost his life volunteering
to cover for his withdrawing platoon, using all his ammunition
and courageously defended his position by engaging the enemy
fighting hand-to-hand with a bayonet and his fists before
being overwhelmed and killed.
Dedication Ceremony on Friday, December 12, 2003 at the
newly-renamed Herbert K. Pililaau Army Recreation Center
in Waianae.
President Truman posthumously
awarded the Medal of Honor to Private Pililaau. He is buried
in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
See
citation here.
By renaming
the Wai‘anae
Army Recreation Center
after Private Pilila‘au,
we honor the ultimate sacrifice made by Private Pilila‘au
and the thousands of soldiers who have come from Hawaii.
