This year’s Christmas festivities in Waimea have an especially moving theme, inspired by two young Waimea residents, Jessica and Cheyenne, who are courageously facing serious medical challenges. These two keiki are reminders to us all that our children are precious and that we should never take our health–or that of our family’s–for granted.

If you’re familiar with Waimea (Kamuela) today, it’s hard to imagine what it must have been like at the end of 1943. When December began, Waimea’s population was approximately 400 residents, mostly Parker Ranch employees.

Without fanfare, truckloads of Marines, sailors and soldiers rolled into Waimea and, with the support of Parker Ranch, set up an enormous tent city on 441 acres of ranch lands. Things happened that way in the middle of World War II.
