Hi

00:09.510 --> 00:11.677
and thanks for joining Us . Hickam Air

00:11.677 --> 00:13.899
Force today is Hawaii residents woke to

00:13.899 --> 00:16.340
a 6.6 magnitude earthquake Sunday

00:16.340 --> 00:18.507
morning . The quake and it's more than

00:18.507 --> 00:20.710
50 aftershocks caused some damage to

00:20.710 --> 00:22.821
buildings around the islands . Of the

00:22.821 --> 00:25.050
largest impact was the loss of power .

00:25.140 --> 00:27.570
The power went out basically all over

00:27.570 --> 00:30.470
the island and what we found out later

00:30.470 --> 00:32.960
was all over the state . The airport

00:32.970 --> 00:35.081
was immediately shut down . Obviously

00:35.081 --> 00:37.303
with no power . The planes that were in

00:37.303 --> 00:39.490
the air and headed to the island did

00:39.490 --> 00:41.434
have permission to land , although

00:41.434 --> 00:43.268
earthquakes are common in Hawaii

00:43.268 --> 00:45.434
Sundays was the strongest place to hit

00:45.440 --> 00:48.330
since 1983 . It was january

00:48.330 --> 00:51.040
1992 when the Air Force Memorial

00:51.040 --> 00:52.762
Foundation began to pursue the

00:52.762 --> 00:54.940
development of a memorial dedicated to

00:54.940 --> 00:57.760
Airman past presidents and future and

00:57.760 --> 00:59.649
the tech sergeant Michael knoll .

00:59.649 --> 01:01.816
Report what started as a vision is now

01:01.816 --> 01:04.850
a reality . With President Bush on hand

01:04.850 --> 01:06.683
along with other senior military

01:06.683 --> 01:08.739
leaders . The Air Force Memorial was

01:08.739 --> 01:10.906
officially dedicated saturday during a

01:10.906 --> 01:12.850
ceremony in Arlington Virginia . A

01:12.850 --> 01:15.072
soldier can walk the battlefields where

01:15.072 --> 01:17.960
he once fought , a marine , can walk

01:17.960 --> 01:21.410
the beaches he once stormed but an

01:21.410 --> 01:23.688
airman can never visit the Passion Sky .

01:23.688 --> 01:25.854
He raced across on a mission to defend

01:25.854 --> 01:28.890
freedom . And so it's feeling that from

01:28.890 --> 01:32.100
this day forward the men and women have

01:32.100 --> 01:34.430
the Air force will have this memorial a

01:34.430 --> 01:36.097
place here on the ground that

01:36.097 --> 01:37.986
recognizes their achievements and

01:37.986 --> 01:40.300
sacrifices in the skies above the

01:40.300 --> 01:42.522
memorial honors the millions of men and

01:42.522 --> 01:44.689
women who have served in the Air Force

01:44.689 --> 01:46.920
since it was created in 1947 . These

01:46.920 --> 01:49.740
three spires echo our values ,

01:49.750 --> 01:51.950
integrity , service and excellence .

01:52.240 --> 01:55.450
They also echo our components . Active
