Bill > HCR62

This concurrent resolution requests that the Sheriff Division of the Department of Law Enforcement fly the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia (League) flag at the Hawaii State Capitol. The resolution highlights the flag's significance as a symbol of national commitment to resolving the fates of American prisoners of war and those missing in action during the Southeast Asia conflicts. The flag, officially recognized by the 101st Congress through U.S. Public Law 101-355, is currently mandated to be flown on six national holidays at prominent national buildings. The resolution specifically asks that the League's flag be displayed at the State Capitol on those same six national holidays, mirroring the federal guidelines. By doing so, the resolution aims to maintain visibility and awareness of the ongoing uncertainty faced by families of military personnel who remain unaccounted for from the Southeast Asia conflicts. The resolution also directs that copies be transmitted to the Governor, Director of Law Enforcement, and State Sheriff to ensure proper implementation.
