They are scheduled to attend a service at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Punchbowl later today, as well as to dine with Governor Linda Lingle in Washington Place. Today they will also revisit the tree they planted in 1960 that marked the 100th anniversary of US-Japan relations. Later tonight they will attend a banquet at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
