NZ honors Pacific Island coastwatchers decades after WWII

After decades of being unsung World War II heroes in New Zealand, Pacific Island coastwatchers have finally been recognised. New Zealand's Governor-General Dame Cindy Kiro presented families of over 25 Pacific Islands coastwatchers - along with five Post and Telegraph Department coastwatchers with certificates to honour the sacrifice of their relations' service. The long-awaited ceremony in recognition of dozens of war-heroes took place at Government House in Wellington on Tuesday. Eleisha Foon was there.
