At least one man is trying to ensure that an event is held to mark this year’s Veterans Day.

Palaita Tusi Suiaunoa told KHJ News today that when he found out there were no plans for a commemorative event he decided to organize something.

He said after a meeting with the band leader of the visiting USAF Band Papana, it was agreed that the Air Force Band will hold a concert for veterans between 6 and 8pm Monday, before departing that night.

The band is here for the Samoana Jazz & Arts Festival this weekend.

Papana’s two hour concert for veterans will be free-of-charge.

Palaita was also able to get the Tradewinds Pavilion for the concert at no charge, thanks to GM Cathie Haleck-Pa’ala.

Unfortunately drinks and snacks will not be free but can be bought from the poolside bar.
