Subject: Support Res. 234-25
Aloha Committee Members,
I strongly support this resolution.US Military training at P6hakuloa has already caused serious harm -
burning nearly 2o,000 acres, contaminating the land, and threatening endangered species. Beneath this
area lies a major aquifer that supplies fresh water to Hawaii 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.Pohakuloa 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,
Robin Okoa o
