Lo Ta Nu'u performed by Staff Sgt. Erik Tue

On April 17, 1900, the American Samoa became a U.S. Territory. Part of an archipelago over 2,000 miles from Hawaii, these small islands have a big presence in the U.S. Army. The American Samoa has the highest military enlistment rate of any U.S. State or territory.
Celebrate the American Samoa with a performance of "Lo Ta Nu'u," featuring Staff Sgt. Erik Tue, who enlisted the Army in 2010. Raised in the American Samoa, SSG Tue was inspired by the service of his Auntie, combat veteran Col. (Ret.) Leafaina Yahn, a West Point graduate now serving as Chief of Staff for Congresswoman Aumua Amata; his Uncle, First Sgt. (Ret.) Tipo To'omalatai, who served as a Green Beret with 312th Infantry of Baumholder, Germany; and his cousin, Sgt. First Class (Ret.) Pio Pa'au, Jr.
"Lo Ta Nu'u" is an unofficial anthem of the American Samoa. Sung in Samoan, a Polynesian language, it depicts the pride Samoans have for their culture and people. As Tauaipolu Kelly Tue, SSG Tue's mother said, "No matter where in the world a Samoan may be, the love they have for their tiny little island is felt way beyond its shores."
