This is me and JR, a local boy from Kalihi, spreading "a little aloha around the world." JR is a Captain in the Army and is one of the battery commanders in the unit to which my CA Team is assigned. This is a family style meal that a Sheik invited us to attend at his home. In fact, the meal was in our honor and they really rolled out the red carpet for us. That is a BIG plate of rice on fresh flat bread with a cooked lamb on top. There were also fresh vegetables, strong coffee, and lots of chai tea!
This was after the damage was done, and we only put a dent in it. Did I mention that we didn't use silverware?
Outside the house even the troops got to enjoy lunch. This is my CA Team digging in.
This is the Sheik that invited us. He is, in my opinion, a good man who wants very much to take care of the people of his village.
Lunch time is over and a few of my guys are taking their last opportunity to stretch their legs before the long ride back.
