A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MEMORIAL
MONUMENT TO THE VETERANS OF THE KOREAN WAR.
WHEREAS, the Korean War is sometimes called "The Forgotten War" because it is often
overshadowed by World War II and the Vietnam War; and
WHEREAS, veterans of the Korean War wish to ensure that this conflict and their
comrades are not forgotten; and
WHEREAS, there is no Memorial Monument on Hawaii Island to honor the fallen heroes
of the Korean War; and
WHEREAS, the Korean War Veterans, Chapter 231, requests that the County of Hawaii
support their efforts to construct a Korean War Veterans Memorial Monument either in
Lili`uokalani Gardens at the corner of Banyan Drive and Lihiwai Street, Kalakaua Park, or next to
the Vietnam Memorial near the Wailoa Visitors Center; and
WHEREAS, installation of a Memorial Monument would be a fitting means to honor 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 Korean War Veterans, Chapter 231, with its dream of building a Korean War Veterans
Memorial Monument either in Lili`uokalani Gardens, Kalakaua Park, or next to the Vietnam
Memorial near the Wailoa Visitors Center.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the County Clerk shall forward a copy of this
resolution to the Honorable Mayor Harry Kim; all Hawaii Island Representatives and Senators of
the State Legislature; Mr. Hideo Gushiken, President, Korean War Veterans, Chapter 231; and
