U.S. Pacific Fleet Commander, Adm. Patrick Walsh (left), and Navy Region Hawaii Commander, Rear Adm. Dixon R. Smith (right) take in the sights at the 2011 Pro Bowl on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, Jan. 30. Walsh will had the opportunity to oversee the tossing of the coin during the annual Pro Bowl event. This is the 31st time that the event was held in Hawaii, where it was held for 30 years straight until last year when it was held in Miami, Fla., in an effort to renew interest in the game. That decision was met with much debate and criticism by fans and players, and the game was brought back to Hawaii this year. Hawaii is home to many U.S. military members and their families, and many of those individuals were involved in the setup of the event. Service members volunteered to help with the stage crew, team color guardsmen, overall setup in addition to supporting the military color guard and a flyover conducted by the U.S. coast Guard.
