The Coast Guard yesterday dedicated a memorial honoring the crews of two fatal helicopter crashes in Hawai'i.

The ceremony at Air Station Barbers Point marked the first anniversary of the crash of a Coast Guard helicopter while conducting a training mission south of Honolulu International Airport. All four crew members were killed.

The other crash was in 1982, when three crew members died as their Coast Guard helicopter went down en route to a search and rescue mission north of Moloka'i.

The Coast Guard's vice commandant, Vice Adm. David P. Pekoske, presided over the ceremony. Invited guests included Vice Adm. Jody A. Breckenridge, commander of Coast Guard Pacific Area.
