Veterans Advisory Committee <br />Page 6 <br />June 16, 2011 <br /> <br /> <br />who echoed many of the comments made here. He was extremely impressed and called <br />him personally to thank him for sharing it with him. <br /> <br />Mr. Minoru Hanato thanked Kalei for all of his work. Mr. Hanato asked if the County <br />can provide a place for the brochures to be placed at the cemetery where it could be <br />protected from the elements. It would get wet even in the committal shelter. <br /> <br />Mr. Flores suggested getting those containers that are used by Real Estate Companies to <br />display their brochures. <br /> <br />Chairperson Fox said she will look into it and get back to members at the next meeting. <br />She wants to be sure that the brochures will not get ruined. <br /> <br />Mr. Nishimoto recommended that it be placed at the West Hawaii Civic Center. <br /> <br />Mr. Bruce Soto, said he is Kalei’s Scoutmaster and a Retired Veteran after serving <br />20 years in the Air Force and as a veteran feels that it is best to have brochures available <br />at the cemetery. Especially if relatives visit from away during the weekend when the <br />County offices are closed, this information can help them locate their relatives graves <br />while at the cemetery. <br /> <br />Director Fitzgerald told Chairperson Fox that if she finds a box, the Parks staff will install <br />it at the Cemetery. He also said that Parks staff will be updating the insert of the <br />brochure every six months. <br /> <br />Kalei said that the distribution of the brochures will be at the discretion of Director <br />Fitzgerald. <br /> <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />P&R Forms for Burials at Veterans Cemeteries <br />Chairperson Fox requested copies of the following forms relating to burials at Veterans <br />Cemeteries be distributed to members for their information: <br /> <br />1) Procedure for Burial at Veterans Cemeteries (Dated 6/20/10) <br />2) Application Form For Burial at Veterans Cemeteries (Dated 1/2011) <br /> <br />Chairperson Fox wanted members to be aware of what is on this form and pointed out <br />that there is a place for requesting the use of the tent for burials at the West Hawaii <br />Veterans Cemetery only. The mortuaries just need to have that checked so the tent will <br />be set up and casket could be carried directly to the gravesite. She requested members <br />review forms. <br /> <br />Mr. Hanato said the roll away tent is being used now instead of going to the committal <br />shelter and then to the gravesite. <br /> <br />
