STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2843

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.C.R. No. 70

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 70 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING AND COMMENDING THOSE WHO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO THE FAMILIES OF DEPLOYED MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to recognize and commend those who provide support to the families of deployed members of the Armed Forces, and to honor military families and the nongovernmental organizations that support them.

 

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

 

     The families of members of the Armed Forces provide unconditional love and support to their loved ones serving in the Armed Forces before, during, and after their deployment in service to the United States.  By providing this vital support, these families provide an essential service to their country, along with their deployed family members.

 

     Nonprofit organizations help to ensure that children of military families receive the support they need while their parents are deployed.  These programs and organizations help the families of deployed Armed Forces members to maintain as normal a life as possible through services and grants that provide resources that might otherwise be unavailable to these families.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 70, and recommends its adoption.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs,
