Wishing you Faaolataga Pulou good luck with your duties in serving and protecting our freedom. May you deploy with this Bible text keep in your heart to strengthen you and comfort you in times of war. Psalm 121:7-8 "The Lord will protect your from all danger; he will keep your safe. He will protect you as you come and go now and forever." Dont forget our KFHS motto "ONE HEART". God bless you "Faa" and all Toa o Samoa.

Tumau le agalelei ma fa'amanuiaga sili mai le Atua mo outou uma, alo ma fanau a le atunuu o le a faliu atu mo le taua i atunuu mamao. Upu masani a le atunuu, "ia tafetoto outou ala, pouliuli o outou tino, 'ae 'ia matua'i malamalama o outou mata." Nofo tapua'i atu le atunuu atoa mo outou, saogalemu o outou ala ma mea uma o le a outou feoa'i ma tautua ai. Loto tetele ma 'aua ne'i galo le tatalo i le ao ma le po, i so'o se mea tou te iai.
