St. Damien Assembly 3221 w/WDM Presentation of Colors at Special Olympics Summer Games Opening Ceremony, June 6, 2025, Les Murakami Stadium, UH Manoa. Visible Arm of the Knights of Columbus Patriotic Degree. Vivat Jesus!

There are two events: the Mayor's Memorial Day Ceremony, held in the morning at Punchbowl, and the Governor's Memorial Day Ceremony, held in the afternoon at Kaneohe.

Typically, the State Deputy or District Master (or both) presents a Wreath or Lei at one or the other.

Sir Knights of Assembly 1826 and 3221 will plan and coordinate service and support for the Mayor's Memorial Day Ceremony at the National Memorial Cemetery at Punchbowl.

Sir Knights of Assembly 1577, 3844, and 3894 will plan and coordinate service and support for the Governor's Memorial Day Ceremony at the State Memorial Cemetery, Kaneohe.

Programs don't necessarily have to be of the charitable norm. They could be intended to boost morale and create a space for recreation.

"Initiatives and enterprising" connote action, and assertiveness.
