The bronze statue by Marisol Escobar stands at the center of the main entrance of the Hawaii State Capitol Building. Joseph de Veuster is celebrated as the selfless Belgian Catholic priest who is most noted for providing care to many who suffered from Hansen's disease and banished to the remote Kalaupapa along the north shore of the island of Molokai. Father Damien gave selflessly and eventually became a victim of the disease from which his congregation suffered. He was canonized as a saint on October 9, 2011 during a mass at the Vatican and remains Hawaii's only saint. - Lottie Tagupa

The beautiful Aloha Tower is located at the Pier 10 of Honolulu Harbor and is a major landmark of the city. The Pier 10 was essentially used to dock boats, ships and other vessels that came into the city. However, over a period of time, the Pier 10 has turned into a major tourist attraction because of the close proximity of waterfront cafes and Aloha Tower. Many people come at the pier to enjoy serene sunsets or enjoy the live music and food served at nearby restaurants.
