Grant Request, which will provide funding for Start up costs to build a Combined Veterans Center in Hilo, Hi. Dear G'fl'A~r~utanJ l~ot.v41~'IG; '3 Geu.?c.,4 ~yar,d.E.S I am, one of 14,440 Veterans on the Big Island of Hawau, and I strongly support a Grant for the Hawaii Island Veterans Memorial Inc., to provides funds for start up costs to build a Combined Veterans Center in Hilo, HI. I ask for your support and Approval in passing this very important and meaningful issue I can speak first hand when I say this Combined Veterans center is seriously needed, it is years past due, our Veterans have been waiting far to long for this facility. I can't emphasize just how badly Veterans need this Veterans Center. That is why I strongly urge the County Council to favorably consider the passing of this Grant Request. Hawaii Island Veterans Memorial Inc. (HIVMI) Is in the process of obtaining the land through a switch, 5 acres of State land, which HIVMI has requested, for 5 acres of Hawaii County land, which Mayor Steven Yamashiro arranged, the exchange has been agreed upon with the State Of Hawaii, Dept. Of Land and Natural Resources. The Veterans Center will not only benefit the Veterans and their families, but it will also be beneficial to the Hilo community, there will be activities for the Public to use, such as Elderly programs, Youth Programs, Students projects, and many other programs that the community can take advantage of on a scheduled basis. It will also employ a number of people from the Hilo area, on permanent basis, which will definitely help the Community and Hawaii County Economy. The Hawaii Island Veterans have been waiting for 50 years for a facility like this Combined Veterans Center, which, I might add will be the first of its kind in the State of Hawaii, this concept could very well become a Pilot Project for Combined Veterans Centers across the Nation, because it reduces costs, and is self-supporting. This Veterans Center will be a great asset to the Hilo community, it will be something that the Veterans can look up too, and respect, it will be a sign of Patriotism, Honor, and Duty that provides a respectable image in the Hilo community, and Hawaii County.

They have been willing to give their Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness to assure the freedom of us Citizens of this brave Nation. Now its time for the Citizens to support the Veterans by giving some compensation that benefits the Veterans and at the same time provides a service to the Veterans, the community, and Hawaii County. Most all Veterans and their families are good voting Citizens and have earned their status and respect in the community. They are Home owners, taxpayers, businessman, elected officials, professional people, and teachers. They deserve this Combined Veterans Center that will provide them with a Medical Treatment Service facihty, and Counseling programs. The County of Hawaii should not ask the Veterans to do without this Facility any longer. I humbly urge you to vote for approval of the Grant Request that provides for funds for start up costs to build the Combined Veterans Center in Hilo, Hi. This Veterans Center will be a big help to all Veterans and their families, and it will also employ a number of people from the Hilo area, on a permanent basis, which will definitely help Hilo, and Hawaii County Economy.

Deaz ~jlSc~/R /0'~fL~f-/L} I am, one of 14,440 Veterans on the Big Island of Hawau, and I strongly support a Grant for the Hawaii Island Veterans Memorial Inc., to provides funds for start up costs to build a Combined Veterans Center in Hilo, HI. I ask for your support and Approval in passing this very important and meaningful issue I can speak first hand when I say this Combined Veterans center is seriously needed, it is yeazs past due, our Veterans have been waiting far to long for this facility. I can't emphasize just how badly Veterans need this Veterans Center. That is why I strongly urge the County Council to favorably consider the passing of this Grant Request. Hawaii Island Veterans Memorial Inc. (HIVMI) Is in the process of obtaining the land through a switch, 5 acres of State land, which HIVMI has requested, for 5 acres of Hawaii County land, which Mayor Steven Yamashiro arranged, the exchange has been agreed upon with the State Of Hawaii, Dept. Of Land and Natural Resources. The Veterans Center will not only benefit the Veterans and their families, but it will also be beneficial to the Hilo community, there will be activities for the Public to use, such as Elderly programs, Youth Programs, Students projects, and many other programs that the community can take advantage of on a scheduled basis. It will also employ a number of people from the Hilo area, on permanent basis, which will definitely help the Community and Hawaii County Economy. The Hawaii Island Veterans have been waiting for 50 yeazs for a facility like this Combined Veterans Center, which, I might add will be the first of its kind in the State of Hawaii, this concept could very well become a Pilot Project for Combined Veterans Centers across the Nation, because it reduces costs, and is self-supporting. This Veterans Center will be a great asset to the Hilo community, it will be something that the Veterans can look up too, and respect, it will be a sign of Patriotism, Honor, and Duty that provides a respectable image in the Hilo community, and Hawaii County. Thank you very Much. Sincerely: I CG' To: Dist.
