there have been some significant changes to the us islands awards program. the us protectorate islands were recently added to the program; formerly, only those islands governed by individual states were included. as such, there are several new islands added to the mix, including the us virgin islands, american samoa, guam, puerto rico and others. new awards have also been added to the program, and an additional award is the works for protectorate islands. usi stresses that the earlier award series is still ongoing and hasn't changed. "these new awards series marks the first expansion to the program in many years," said page pyne, wa3eop, usi's program coordinator. for more information, please see the us islands' web page.
