A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MEMORIAL MONUMENT
TO THE VETERANS OF THE KOREAN WAR.

overshadowed by World War II and the Vietnam War; and

are not forgotten; and
WHEREAS, there is no Memorial Monument on Hawaii Island to honor the fallen heroes of
the Korean War; and

support their efforts to construct a Korean War Veterans Memorial Monument in Lili`uokalani
Gardens at the corner of Banyan Drive and Lihiwai Street; and

remember those who paid the supreme sacrifice in giving their lives to perpetuate the principles of this
great nation; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII that it shall
work with all County agencies and departments, the State of Hawaii, and other partners to assist the
