00:12.329 --> 00:14.840
recently hosted its 11th annual Hawaii

00:14.840 --> 00:16.729
Military Partnership . Conference

00:17.140 --> 00:19.140
Commanders from across the services

00:19.140 --> 00:21.251
gave presentations to local officials

00:21.251 --> 00:23.362
and community and business leaders to

00:23.362 --> 00:25.473
exchange ideas and to foster a better

00:25.473 --> 00:27.640
understanding of their roles in Hawaii

00:27.640 --> 00:29.807
and the pacific region . The commander

00:29.807 --> 00:31.862
of U . S . Army , pacific lieutenant

00:31.862 --> 00:33.918
general frank Radzinsky spoke at the

00:33.918 --> 00:36.330
conference . The bottom line is be good

00:36.330 --> 00:38.720
neighbors , be good stewards of the

00:38.720 --> 00:40.887
resources that we've been provided for

00:41.040 --> 00:44.700
by our taxpayers and by our communities

00:44.700 --> 00:47.320
here in Hawaii and to ensure that we're

00:47.330 --> 00:49.740
balancing everything and still

00:49.740 --> 00:52.040
maintaining that mission focus , that

00:52.050 --> 00:54.190
must be our number one priority . He

00:54.190 --> 00:56.246
also stressed Hawaii's importance to

00:56.246 --> 00:59.460
user pack . It would be morally

00:59.920 --> 01:03.560
and ethically irresponsible

01:03.940 --> 01:06.230
for any of us to send any of our

01:06.230 --> 01:08.590
soldiers into any conflict . If they

01:08.590 --> 01:11.340
were untrained , I could not look their

01:11.340 --> 01:13.230
parents , their spouses or their

01:13.230 --> 01:16.690
Children in the eye . We have to train

01:16.690 --> 01:20.380
to be prepared and we do that here in

01:20.380 --> 01:23.140
Hawaii quite well . Staff Sergeant

01:23.140 --> 01:26.460
Richard Coletta Honolulu hawaii .

01:28.740 --> 01:30.550
Yeah , yeah .
