Traditionally, blowing of the Pu, is a deep part of the Hawaiian culture, has various meanings. Today the "Pu" is used to announce the opening of the ceremony for the arrival of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, arrival of its first F-22 Raptors. The Raptor represents an exponential leap in warfighting capabilities for U.S. forces in the Pacific.
