Veterans Advisory Committee Minutes December 8, 2020 Page 6 Yoshimoto: I can give an update. From what I can tell, it looks like there's four vacancies. But in reviewing this, I want to confirm that we have the affiliations with the members with the corresponding organizations. So, Michael, can I just ask the members what's their affiliation so I can match it up with what's in the County Code? Chair Doolittle: Yes, please do. Yoshimoto: Antonio you're with the American Legion, is that correct? Gaspar: Yes, and also with the National Guard and also with (inaudible). Yoshimoto: Ok, thank you. So, for the purposes of the code, I have you listed as American Legion. As a brief summary, the code specifies the 12 organizations make up the representation. Next on the list I have Big Island National Guard Retirees Association, in my notes I have George Sheridan but, in my notes, I also see George for Hawaii Island Veterans Memorial. Does anyone know which organization George is with? Chair Doolittle: Well, George is with HIVM and VFW Post 3830 and also with Retired National Guard Association. So, I guess how we would distribute that is pick one that we don't have representation for, which I think would be the National Guard Retirees. Yoshimoto: That's correct, ok, I was hoping you would say that. Ok, next on the list I have Marcia with the Big Island Military Association. Is that correct? Brinkley: Yes, and I also belong to DAV. Yoshimoto: DAV, ok. And then for Hawaii Island Veterans Memorial I have Isaac and Michael. Chair Doolittle: Yes. Yoshimoto: Ok, so among the two of you do you belong to any other organizations because we can only have one from HIVM. Chair Doolittle: I also belong to VFW. So, I don't know how we want to allocate that. Isaac Nahakuelua: Hey, J, this is Isaac I'm also with Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3830. Yoshimoto: VFW? Ok, thank you. Then for Deb, I have you listed as Veterans of Foreign Wars. Do you belong to any others?
