Seating limited at Sen. Inouye's service at Punchbowl

The Department of Veterans Affairs is reminding the public that the seating at the memorial service for the late Sen. Daniel K. Inouye at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl on Sunday will be limited.

As a result, tickets will be distributed at the Alapai Transit Center Parking Garage on a first-come, first-served basis.  Only those members of the public with tickets and riding the dedicated buses or HandiVan will be allowed into the cemetery to attend the memorial service.

Buses will begin departing from the Alapai Transit Center at 7 a.m.

Members of the public who wish to attend the service are advised to be at the Alapai Transit Center as early as possible to receive tickets.

All attendees will go through airport-like security.  Please bring as few personal items as possible.  Bags, sharp objects, umbrellas, liquids other than bottled water, and signs are prohibited.  Bottled water, cameras and cell phones are permitted.
