“It is an absolute honor to once again return to scared land and spend time with our Soldiers and their families at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam here in Oahu, Hawaii,” Johnson began.
‘Infinitely grateful to all of our military men and women and their families for their service. “A great day looking into your eyes and shaking your hand and I also loved all the kisses, hugs, tears and selfies,” he added.
‘God bless you and your families. Forever a proud patriot as our freedom is our greatest privilege,’ he concluded.
Just days earlier, Johnson hit the red carpet for the Hawaiian premiere of Moana 2 ahead of its massive box office debut.
Moana 2 grossed $135.5 million over the traditional 3-day weekend and a whopping $221 million since its release on Wednesday.
The figure easily surpassed the previous five-day Thanksgiving haul of $125 million set by Disney’s Frozen II.
The animated sequel opened in 4,200 theaters and grossed a whopping $32,261 per screen average.
It also grossed an additional $165.3 million in overseas markets for a massive $386 million global debut.

Johnson may also appear on the big screen in the Christmas adventure Red One, starring alongside Chris Evans and JK Simmons.
That film hasn’t had the same box office success as Moana 2, grossing $148.6 million worldwide after three frames at the box office.
He will next be seen in The Smashing Machine and is currently filming the live-action version of Moana, where he returns as Maui.
