Veterans Advisory Committee Minutes December 8, 2020 Page 2 like a spreadsheet and I have clickable boxes for some of the information so when you look at the website, you see a photo of a site and you can see the description and photos and then you can click on certain boxes and see it on a map and see directions. That's the part that I need to check with the contractor on when they're ready for us because I was using Google maps and it may or may not be ok to use that on a County website, so I may have to adjust that. That just makes it easier to read when you look at the listing. I have 25 places identified, need to add one column with some access information. Because at least with West Hawaii and maybe one or two others there's always questions about when is it open. I wanted to put that in there for places that maybe are not easily accessible all the time. That looks like it's going to be possible, I don't know when we're going to be able to finish it. For my part, the only thing I'm lacking is a couple of photos from one up in Mountain View and a couple in Kohala that I don't have good pictures of. Aside from that, my part's done. I asked him also, I want to check with the Committee first, do we also want to be able to put event information up there when we eventually can have events? On our Advisory Committee page? We also talked about a year ago about a listing of resources for Veterans and I'm wondering if those are two things, I should ask him to include. But I just wanted to throw that out to the committee and see if were still interested in doing that and if it's possible. Debra Lewis: (inaudible) there's two reasons, one we need to inform each other and two, I got contacted, but Tour of Honor is apparently a motorcycle event that happens every year where they go to memorials. Because of the work that we had done before, I could answer a lot of the questions they had and by the end of the month were going to have candidate, of course this is still military, touroflionor.com if you look on the website. But they want a picture of a motorcycle, no person, in front a memorial and they want us to pick like seven memorials by the end of the month so it sounds like your project and that one by 2021 will Segway nicely to keep us informed and I think that were desperately in need to help veterans and very few veterans know what organizations are out there or how to get ahold of them. Brinkley: I can work with the people from Tour of Honor. Did anyone else have any more comments? Because I had a couple other things. Chair Doolittle: I was just going to ask you, if I understand you correctly, on the website you're going to have these monuments depicted on a map with pictures and information and it'll be more of an interactive solution site? Brinkley: (inaudible) Chair Doolittle: Well then, each listing would become a link to information about that particular site. I don't think that's difficult to do, it sounds absolutely fabulous to me to have that kind of a resource on the County's website where people can go and not only look at the different sites and see where they're at, the history and select from that many options to go out for a day's journey and see a couple of sites. I think that is a fabulous
