Visited my home state of Iowa!

I was born and raised in Hawaii and when I went into the Army in 1970, I felt lonely and was constantly discriminated against but I met a white guy from Marengo, Iowa (Birch Everette) while stationed in Germany and he became my best friend. He treated me with respect and was a true friend. Many years later I searched for him on the internet because I never forgot his kindness and amazingly we finally connected on Facebook in 2016 and within two months he and his wife came to Hawaii to visit me after 40 years. I told him I met a lot of people from the mid-western states in my life time and that they are just like people from Hawaii, always smiling, friendly and will give you their last dollar if they had to. Bless people from all walks of life who are kind to each other. You make a difference in other people's lives.

How can anybody hate this guy? Jason is the real deal. I’ve said it before on another post but he really is what you see here. He genuinely loves people & his family. Every person he meets is special to him & unlike a lot of other actors, he doesn’t live his life in excess. If anything, he’ll be the first to do for others than himself. I’m not saying he’s a saint, but he’s got my vote.💯

He is unappalogeticaly masculine. Even better, he wears his heart on his sleeve and not afraid to show the love. We could all learn from him.

You can take away all his money he would still be a rich man.

Jason kind a reminds me of Keanu, both are incredibly humble, both have a loveable child like quality, and neither are afraid to be their true selves. Much respect

Rich or poor this man enjoys life and family.

[@RealmofGenghisKhan]

I love it how he's a combination of small-town USA and tropical paradise Polynesia and he still holds true to his roots. Humble dude

"In Iowa you can watch your dog run away for days" 😂😂😂😂.

OMG you can tell that he's not faking the gentle sweet caring nature. So heart warming. He's the true definition of a Gentle Giant.

[@ericaschannel2599]

It’s why he’s so loved has all the money any man could ever want and he’s still normal and acts like he’s got five dollars to his name don’t live beyond his means he’s just awesome

[@piqueny8872]

You can tell how a man will treat you, by the way he treats the most important women in his life.

[@linnycrocus6023]

I'm not jealous of this guy's fame or good looks.

[@almanull3931]

How sweet is this man, nothing like seeing your grandma ❤️

[@takktakterakk]

Jason Momoa looks like he gives the best hugs in the world!

[@larascott4877]

Not gonna lie I teared up when I saw how excited he was to see his grandma.

[@mwhitehall889]

Jason is the most down to earth loving guy.

"In Iowa you can watch your dog run away for days". I almost fell out my chair laughing.

[@sabineleigh2336]

Jason has an amazing energy. I love how true to his heart he is and the love he shares with the world.

Regular guy, with a regular life, who happens to be on a big movie screen. I like him.

This is what Iowa is about.... Great food, great friends, and great family. I can never leave.
