For an entire century, the District has served with pride and distinction.I have personally witnessed their hard work and dedication to improve the lives of our fellow citizens in many ways. The Pacific Connection's Centennial issue, produced and distributed by the POH Public Affairs Office, celebrates 100 years of service by the Corps of Engineers in Hawaii to the Pacific Region and the nation. They have never failed to answer the call. The District has had a significant impact on the ability of our servicemen and women to fight the global war on terror, it has bolstered the region’s economy and worked to enhance the safety of communities in and about waterways and the functional ability of the many major harbors in my home State of Hawaii. In everything they do they safeguard the environment. From civil works projects navigation, flood control and shore protection to building and maintaining the infrastructure for our military personnel, the Honolulu District is proud of its service.
