I strongly support Resolution 234-25. 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
Hawaii.
Mahalo,
