Veterans Advisory Committee <br />Page 9 <br />October 17, 2013 <br /> <br /> <br />they get the clearance to put it in Cemetery II and then later in Cemetery III, they will pay <br />for it before it comes in. Once approval is received and the memorial installed, they want <br />the Big Island to become a part of the National Purple Heart Trail. This does not take <br />away from anything anybody has. For instance the Likelike Highway stays that, but there <br />is a sign that says "Purple Heart Trail". The location in the cemetery has not been <br />selected as yet. <br /> <br />Chairman Carlson asked if there is a monument at Veterans Cemetery I and Dale Wilson <br />responded that Cemetery I has the pavilion where all of the ceremonies are held so that's <br />why they felt it would be better to put it in Cemetery II and later in Cemetery III. <br /> <br />Member Penny Fox recommended that if we approve having the monument in the <br />cemetery, to put it next to the DAV monument in Cemetery II. <br /> <br />MOTION – Recommendation to Install the Military Order of the Purple Heart <br />Monument in Veterans Cemetery II Next To the DAV Monument and at Veterans <br />Cemetery III <br /> <br />Dale Wilson said he requested the requirements to install this monument from State DOD <br />OVS and has not yet received a response. He feels it should be simple since there are <br />already two of these same monuments in state cemeteries. <br /> <br />Member Fox recommended that after all the details are worked out and if it’s not going to <br />cost the County anything, to approve putting in the MOPH monument at Veterans II next <br />to the DAV monument and to follow at Veterans Cemetery III. <br /> <br />The Motion was seconded by Vice Chairman Emile Wery. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />Deputy Corporation Counsel Renee Schoen said as to the discussion it would be subject <br />to all the necessary approvals including Mayor, P&R and any other agencies. <br /> <br />Member Penny Fox amended the motion to recommend that the MOPH monument be put <br />in Veterans Cemetery II next to the DAV Monument and then into Cemetery III after all <br />of the approvals are received by any approving authority. <br /> <br />The Motion was unanimously approved. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
