Subject: Support Resolution 234-25
Aloha Council Members,I strongly support this resolution.US Military training at Pohakuloa has already
caused serious harm -burning nearly 20,00o 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,
Danielle A. Guion
Makakilo, Oahu, Hawai'i
