Subject: Subj: Inaba CRF, $5,000 for a grant to WHVCDEA to construct a Vietnam War Memorial at
the West Hawaii Veterans Cemetery
'I
I strongly support this resolution. This Vietnam Memorial is another important step in establishing monuments to recognize
the Military Members that served in all our wars. The Korean War Memorial has recently been completed and the World War II
Memorial will be a project for the near future. Please note that 210 Vietnam Veterans have been interned at the West Hawaii
Cemetery as of January 1, 2022. This Island's death toll in the Vietnam War was 51 and one of our own received the Medal of
Honor.
