Support Res. 234-25
Aloha Committee Members, I strongly support this resolution. US Military training at P6hakuloa
has already caused serious harm -burning nearly 20,000 acres, contaminating the land, and
threatening endangered species. Beneath this area lies a major aquifer that supplies fresh water
to Hawai'i Island, and the military's track record shows they are not equipped to protect it.There
is also serious concern about depleted uranium left in the soil, which can become airborne
during exercises and has known health risks. P6hakuloa is a wahi pana- a sacred place with
deep cultural and ecological significance. Continued military use is incompatible with its
conservation status and the values of aloha aina. Please support this resolution to protect the
land, water, and people of Hawai'i.Mahalo,
-Yeshua Ke'anolani Aquino
