Joe Ferrara: Hi, my name is Joe Ferrara and we are here in Honolulu, Hawaii. We are participating
in Color Care Across the United States to honor our veterans.
Sonu Mathew: We have a beautiful house here and Savina is going to tell us a little bit
about what Color Care Across America means to her. Hi Savina. How are you?
Savina Hughes-Thomas: Hey Sonu. Thanks for coming. This is an unbelievable blessing and
because of your help, with your help, we are so excited to have color in our home. Our
house has been totally, totally white, totally sanitized for the last two years and just
adding some color will make it more inviting, more relaxing, more calming for not only myself
but the family as well.
Paul Tamashiro: Rainbow State Paint is proud to have partnered with Benjamin Moore paints
to honor our service men and women in the state of Hawaii. With all of the service that
they do, I think that color will add some inspiration to their lives and really give
them a brighter outlook for all of the sacrifices that they've done.
Joe Ferrara: We feel this program is an outreach to our veterans and also so the community
can go ahead and give back to some of the things that the veterans have given, the sacrifices
they've made for our country and for us.
Mayor Pete Carlisle: This absolutely a wonderful thing to do. An important thing in my life
is to make things beautiful and we try to do that outside and when you come inside and
you see this vibrant color and you see all the exciting things that are going on here
helping veterans who are now part of the community, who've got children who they're caring
for, and a home now that's going to be permanent rather than one that's in the entire military
effort of moving place to place to place, this is a good place to sit down roots and
to be part of making it this attractive is a wonderful thing. So I want to thank Color
Care; I want to thank Benjamin Moore. I want to thank them for helping the communities
and helping most importantly our veterans who we owe so much to and thank every day
and if this in anyway represents me thanking them, it's absolutely, 100 percent, heartfelt
and enthusiastic. Mahalo.
