- J. R. Kealoha (died March 5, 1877) was a Native Hawaiian and a citizen of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, who became a Union Army soldier during the American Civil War. Considered one of the "Hawaiʻi sons of the Civil War", he was among a group of more than one hundred documented Native Hawaiian and Hawaiʻi-born combatants who fought in the American Civil War while the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi was an independent nation. Kealoha enlisted in the 41st United States Colored Infantry, a United States Colored Troops regiment formed in Pennsylvania. Participating in the siege of Petersburg, he and another Hawaiian soldier met the Hawaiʻi-born Colonel Samuel Chapman Armstrong, who recorded their encounter in a letter home. With the 41st USCT, Kealoha was present at the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. After the war, Kealoha returned to Hawaiʻi. He died on March 5, 1877, and was buried in an unmarked grave in Honolulu's Oʻahu Cemetery. The legacy and contributions of Kealoha and other Hawaiian participants in the American Civil War were largely forgotten except in the private circles of descendants and historians, but in later years there was a revival of interest in the Hawaiian community. In 2010, these "Hawaiʻi sons of the Civil War" were commemorated with a bronze plaque erected along the memorial pathway at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu. In 2014, through another local effort, a grave marker was dedicated over J. R. Kealoha's burial site, which had remained unmarked for 137 years. (en)

- J·R·基洛哈（英語：J. R. Kealoha，？－1877年3月5日）是夏威夷族美国联邦军士兵。夏威夷王国在19世纪尚属独立国家，据确切记载，有上百名夏威夷原住民或在该国出生的公民投身南北战争，这些人统称“南北战争夏威夷之子”，基洛哈便是其一。 基洛哈加入宾夕法尼亚州组建的，曾参与，在此期间与另一名夏威夷军人一起遇到生于夏威夷王国的上校，后者把他们的相遇写进家书。1865年4月9日，基洛哈与第41步兵团的战友一起在见证邦联军总司令罗伯特·E·李将军和北维吉尼亚军团投降。战争结束后他返回夏威夷，于1877年3月5日谢世，遗体葬在檀香山的无碑坟墓。 内战结束后，包括布什在内众多夏威夷军人的贡献很大程度上已被遗忘，但在他们后代和少数历史学家共同努力下，夏威夷王国和美国这段特殊历史时期的人物和故事引起学界兴趣。2010年，檀香山的纪念通道旁为南北战争夏威夷之子立起青铜牌匾。2014年，当地为已经持续137年没有墓碑的基洛哈墓地立碑。 (zh)
