Veterans Advisory Committee Minutes December 8, 2020 Page 13 big difference in putting those flags in. The ground is not dirt, so it made it easier. Just thought I'd let you guys know about that. Lewis: Yeah, well we'll take ideas. When the Boys Scouts are doing it, they break it all the time. This past couple have been adults, so we've only had a couple break. But you're absolutely right, that would speed the process and it would also protect the flag base. Hanato: So far, we haven't had anyone get hurt from poking the flag in the ground and poking their hand. Chair Doolittle: I assume those pipes are plastic. Hanato: Oh yeah, PVC. It's not that thin, because they'll crack eventually. We place it close to the headstone, so the lawnmower won't damage it. When we installed it, we did it in a way that won't damage the headstone because the headstone is very brittle. Chair Doolittle: Yeah, good suggestion. Do we have anything else? Yoshimoto: I wanted to ask Minoru if he belongs to the Disabled American Veterans organization? Hanato: yeah, I do. Yoshimoto: Ok, I'll list you there. That will free up the At -Large seat. Hanato: Ok, I was At -Large because the DAV was taken. Carolle Brulee was also in that spot. Yoshimoto: I'll list Minoru as Disable American Veterans. Because both Michael and Isaac you both belong to the same HIVM, that's correct. Do you also belong to other organizations? Nahakuelua: VFW Post 3830. Lewis: We have a lot of VFW reps. That said, we have three VFW groups, pretty good size. Yoshimoto: I'll send the email out and the committee can figure out what we want to do. Chair Doolittle: Ok, moving on, does anyone have any other announcements? Lewis: The only thing I have to add, apparently there are two groups, but I don't know these acronyms, Maurice maybe you know these. CAP and ICIA's Ending Homelessness. Chair Doolittle: Well CAP is Civil Air Patrol.
