Veterans Advisory Committee Minutes May 25, 2021 Page 17 combine our group to do the military honors, we do the firing and bugle. Lately the military hasn't been coming over because of the COVID thing so we've been doing everything, holding the flags, presentation everything. We had one yesterday, one today. We had another one Saturday; we've been going crazy lately. There's another thing, at one time, at a meeting, we had requested the small little flags, I think it was 3 by 5. Did you guys get any in so we can put it on the columbarium. Iyo: I'll check with Parks Maintenance. Hanato: Because a lot of the columbarium, we have vases for the flowers and stuff like that and they can put that in the vase. When we put the big flags, they'll just fall down, and it'll look like a mess. We're going to have the laying of the wreaths everything should be going ok. Another question, what organization am I representing? DAV? Or At Large? Iyo: You are DAV. Hanato: Ok because I wasn't sure. I as At large for many years. Thank you. Chair Doolittle: Thank you. Do we have anything else to add? Lewis: Yes, just one more thing, Michael, if we can have a moment, given this is Memorial Day week, we actually have now a Chaplain on our staff, if he can do a short prayer once you're down with everything else? Chair Doolittle: You want to do that after we adjourn or before? Lewis: Whatever the preference. Chair Doolittle: If it's before it'll be a part of the official minutes, if its after it won't be. Nahakuelua: Does the separation of church and state apply to this? Lewis: You adjourn and then we'll have it. Chair Doolittle: Does anyone have anything to add to the official part of the meeting? Soares: Thank you for having me as a guest today. Chair Doolittle: You're welcome and we would advocate that you come back. Hiduchick-Nakayama: Hey Mike, I have a point of order really quick. While Laurie spoke, I just wanted to speak on her behalf. I've known Laurie for quite some time, she is a wonderful person, she is very active, a close friend of mine so I think she would be a great addition to our committee.
