Veterans Advisory Committee Minutes May 28,2019 Page 11 Iyo: I know every once in a while, Hawaii State Veterans Cemetery will ask how many we need. Sueoka: I will find out. Lewis: Do we have a need right this moment? Hanato: Well, this last burial the family had requested about the urn vaults, how come we didn't have any. They buried it directly in the ground. I'm pretty sure that's what's been happening in Hilo as well. Sueoka: I'll check on it. Chair Doolittle: Anything else on that side? Hanato: I want to thank Roddy for assisting me with my paperwork last week. It was less than an hour, so thank you, roddy. Sueoka: You're welcome. OVS Kona Representative Out of Office: Hanato: But I also have a request for you. Our OVS representative got into an accident, I'm sure you know about it. Sueoka: Yes. Hanato: I don't know if she's back to work but I tried to get a hold of her and I couldn't. I understand you have three staff in your department right now. Is there any way you can have one of them come over to Kona at least once a week that way they can help people on this say. I don't know if Diane is doing any work right now. Sueoka: Yes„ she works for me. She's going to come back in June, but she's going to be on light duty because she still has to go to physical therapy and things like that. She's going to work three days a week four hours a day. In the mean time I have the Vt Center folks and the folks that she sits with at Kealakekua, I have them relaying the messages to the folks over here. We've been working that side. If there's anybody that you come across that needs help, even whe she comes back, give them my phone number and we'll go ahead and take care of that. I have a diret line now, (808) 369-3536. If you call and you don't get in touch with me, call the front desk(808) 369-3538. Hanato: Thank you. Flag Pole on Hill at WHVC:
