Subject: Support Res. 234-25
Dear Council 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. and 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.
