Veterans Advisory Committee <br /> Minutes August 27,2019 <br /> Page 5 <br /> Wery: (To Hanato) Why would you need another one there? <br /> Hanato: When you stay on the road you cannot see the flagpole, the one we have now. <br /> You put it on the hill, and you can see it from the road. You'll know that's the cemetery <br /> up there. On top of that, when they originally drew up the plans, they have two flag poles <br /> one on the top of the hill and the one we have now. Boys Scouts, every time we have a <br /> function there, you look up on the hill and there's the guy holding the flag. The main <br /> purpose is to have the flag flying continuously. <br /> Chair Doolittle: Is there a flagpole there now that flies continuously? <br /> Hanato: Yes. <br /> Chair Doolittle: it's just not a high enough point that suits you? <br /> Hanato: Yeah. <br /> Messina: Ok, so at this particular site we have overlapping responsibilities. P&R is <br /> responsible for the management of the facility, but DoD and Office of Veterans Services <br /> would give the final say so to any protocols or movement of any structures. From P&R <br /> standpoint it would be a conflict of protocol to have more than one flag flying at this site. <br /> Chair Doolittle: I think what he's advocating for is that the site of the flagpole be moved <br /> so that the flag can be seen from the road. <br /> Sueoka: For us (DoD)would have to put that up to say we want to move it. Then we have <br /> to go through the whole process, contractors, bids,permits. <br /> George Sheridan: So, you're going to take that flag from where you have ceremonies and <br /> services and move it up on the hill? <br /> Hanato: No, we're not going to move it. Were just going to add the flagpole on the top. <br /> Sheridan: Well, what they're saying is you can't have two flags. That's against protocol. <br /> Sueoka: So, if you're saying that you just want to see you, we would have to move it up <br /> on the hill. I don't know if we should go through the process just because we can't see it <br /> from the road. It's in a good location right now. <br /> Messina: So, the way they bypass protocol is when you don't have two permanent flags. <br /> Like how he's saying someone stands there and holds the flag for the cemetery but then <br /> you take it down afterward. <br />
