Hilo airport arrivals

Best wishes to you, sorry about the loss of your friend-
But I don't think this was a military honor guard, as they would be proudly wearing uniforms with insignias, most likely of mixed races, and probably wouldn't hop into waiting Chinooks. Which is what was strange about the troops that arrived and wore no insignias , were all Caucasian looking,got out of large "Black" C-130, were immediately transported to waiting Chinook helos, and were later reported to be doing repelling exercises from the back of Chinook's over near Kalapana , in a hot ,smelly, and nasty volcanic area,
