Seven-day-old Ryan Joseph was admired by father Woodrow Purkey after he got off the guided-missile destroyer USS Chung Hoon yesterday. Donna Purkey, mother of Ryan, second from left, watched the meeting with her friend Mercedes Welch. The Pearl Harbor-based Chung-Hoon, with more than 350 sailors, returned from a four-month deployment to the Western Pacific as part of U.S. Pacific Command Joint Task Force operations in support of the global war on terrorism.

Thomas Wallace, 9, right, put an arm around Drake Boyer, 11, as Tyler Cordoni, 10, watched traffic go by yesterday as the three sat perched atop donated suitcases at the state Capitol during the "Suitcases for Kids" rally to raise awareness of the needs of Hawaii's foster-care children. May is National Foster Care Month, and the suitcases are to help foster children, who are constantly on the move.

LIGHT OF INSPIRATION

Lt. Gov. James "Duke" Aiona lit a torch yesterday to resume the Troy Barboza Law Enforcement Torch Run, which benefits Special Olympics Hawaii, in front of the First Hawaiian Center downtown. Aiona started the run from the eternal flame near the Capitol and carried the torch downtown, where several people gave speeches. In the background were other participants of the run. The final leg of Oahu's run/walk will take place today. The Torch Run began in 1981 in Wichita, Kan., and is held in all 50 states and more than 40 countries worldwide. Hawaii hosts the only run named after a fallen officer. Honolulu police officer Troy Barboza ran the first Hawaii Torch run in 1986 and was also a Special Olympics coach.
