Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committees on Public Safety and Military Affairs and Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 175 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO DESIGNATE THE HONOR AND REMEMBER FLAG AS A NATIONAL SYMBOL OF OUR NATION'S CONCERN AND COMMITMENT TO HONORING AND REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF ALL MEMBERS OF THE US ARMED FORCES WHO HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE LINE OF DUTY,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to urge the United States Congress to designate the Honor and Remember Flag as a national symbol of our nation's concern and commitment to honoring and remembering the lives of all members of the United States Armed Forces who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

 

     Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from one individual.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     This measure is fitting and proper to recognize the men and women of our country who have gone to war to fight for and to protect our freedoms, as well as to combat tyranny and oppression of peoples throughout the world.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Public Safety and Military Affairs and Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 175, and recommend its adoption.
