Subject: Testimony in support of Resolution 300-23, ref. World War II Memorial at WHVC
This testimony is on behalf of the Veterans Organizations in West Hawaii Island. The West Hawaii Veterans Cemetery
Development and Expansion Association (WHVCDEA)
501 c3, is developing, designing, and executing this project. All of our Veterans Organizations have members providing in-
kind and monetary contributions in support of this project.
This Memorial will be located on the North side of the Committal Shelter and is scheduled for completion by May 2024.
This is clearly the most consequential war for America in the last 100 years. We are committed to address the War in both
the Pacific and European Theaters and at the same time focus on our Hawaiian contributions such as Pearl Harbor, the
442 Regimental Combat Team. the 100th Battalion, and the significance of Camp Tarawa.
Thanks for your support.
Jim Traxler, Vice President of the WHVCDEA and Chairman of the World War II Memorial Project.
