Support Res. 234-25
Aloha Committee Members,I strongly support this resolution.US Military training at Pohakuloa 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 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,
Sven o
