Since arriving in Hawaii in 2021, Hospital Corpsman Second Class Jennie Xie, 30, a general duty corpsman at Branch Health Clinic Kaneohe Bay for Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Pearl Harbor (NMRTC PH) has volunteered at various environmental preservation events like beach clean ups, events for the Special Olympics, a program that aims to improve the lives of people with intellectual disabilities, and events associated with the Ko’olau Foundation, a cultural heritage preservation program dedicated to pursing and promoting environmental practices, preservation, and education. These volunteer experiences embody the community-minded values of the Navy as shown in the year-long initiative, Laulima Navy, launched on the Navy’s 249th birthday on Oct. 13, 2024 to reinforce the Navy’s longstanding and unwavering commitment to Hawaii. Laulima is a Hawaiian value that means “many hands working together.” Many consider it a privilege to call Hawaii home and seek every opportunity to show how much they treasure this place. Their gratitude takes on greater significance this year as we countdown to the Navy’s 250th birthday on Oct. 13, 2025. As we approach this significant milestone, we are highlighting 250 ways that naval commands and components on the islands of Oahu and Kauai protect and care for the community, the people and the land.
