"Air Force Maj. Gen. Kelly K. McKeague, a 1977 Damien Memorial School graduate, has been selected to become commander of the Joint Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Accounting Command on Oct. 31.
He will succeed Maj. Gen. Stephen D. Tom, who is retiring after 40 years. Tom assumed command of JPAC in January 2010.
McKeague, who was born in Liliha and grew up in Papa#kolea, is special assistant to the chief of the National Guard Bureau. His parents, Raymond and Lani McKeague, live in Kahaluu.
His father, a Saint Louis School graduate, served for 26 years in the Army and went to work for the Hono#lulu Police Department after retiring from the military.
McKeague, 53, will be the first commander of JPAC from the Air Force. This will be his first Hawaii assignment in his 31 years in the Air Force and the Air National Guard.
In a telephone call from his Virginia office, McKeague said he is "privileged and humbled" by his new assignment.
"From my standpoint, there is no greater mission," he said."
