VIRGINIA ISBELL
RESOLUTION 59 11— LAND FOR WEST HAWAII VETERANS CENTER
April 19, 2011
Aloha. My name is Virginia Isbell and I am here to speak in favor of this Resolution
requesting land for the establishment of a West Hawai'i Multi- Purpose and Inter - Generational
Veterans Center.
I want to personally thank Councilman Angel Pilago and his staff for providing the
veterans with this excellent well- written Resolution.
This Veterans Center will be a gathering place for our Military Community and Veteran
Organizations. We have been working with the Kauai, Oahu, and Maui Veterans Centers and
have a handle on what needs to be done.
It is our vision that the West Hawai'i Veterans Center (WHVC) will be a key center to
promote and enhance the delivery of benefits to all deserving Veterans, their families, and
dependents of those who have given their lives for their country.
It will be a standing monument that honors their service, promotes their military
heritage and embraces their family.
It will serve as a meeting place for all military functions, Veteran events, and family
programs. And we look forward to your favorable support for this Resolution.
