The allegations that "Five-0" was disrespectful to a group of 24 Pearl Harbor survivors Friday at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl prompted "Five-0" executive producer Peter Lenkov to apologize Tuesday to veterans it may have offended.
"We recognize the privilege of filming in Hawaii and we are acutely aware of the deserved respect for its culture, history and the reverence that should be afforded to all of our veterans, particularly those who served so nobly in Hawaii and at Pearl Harbor," Lenkov said in an emailed statement.

In his statement, Lenkov said the show halted production and waited for the ceremony to finish before resuming.
"When we resumed filming, we did encounter visitors from the ceremony," Lenkov said. "Any rudeness by our staff can only be attributed to haste to finish our work, not a lack of respect for men and women who have served and sacrificed for their country. And for that, too, we sincerely apologize to any that were offended."
