Flying Tiger 923 - Tragedy at Sea
Rachael K. Hoopii, 32, of Waimanalo, Hawaii was on her way with two children to join her husband in Munich, Germany. Mrs. Hoopii and her little girls, Uilani, 10, and Luana, 6, were all eager to see the family together again. Tech Sgt Bernard Palenapa Hoopii, 36, of Wailuku, was energized, excited for his family’s arrival. He was a veteran of 12 years of Army service, which included action in Korea. He had been separated from Rachael, Uilani and Luana for the past two years. Bernard and Rachael had been married for six years.
