Subject: $5,000 for a grant to WHVCDEA to construct a Vietnam War Memorial at the West Hawaii
Veterans Cemetery
Aloha,
I'm sending you this e-mail to let you know that I'm strongly supporting Mr. Mel Behasa's installation of a Vietnam War Memorial at
the West Hawaii Veteran's Cemetery. I feel it's very important for residents of the Big Island and visitors to have a place to visit and
honor our Vietnam Veterans. I've traveled extensively to many war memorials in the United States through the years and see how it
effects me personally and others when we have a place to show our respects.We must honor those who have given so much to our
country.There are a lot of men and women here in Hawaii who have served in our military and they need to be acknowledged now j
and remembered in future generations. I want you to support Mr. Behasa's effort in honoring our Veterans.
Na'u me ke aloha,
from my laptop in paradise
