Bill > HCR94

This concurrent resolution requests that the Governor of Hawaii issue a proclamation designating Hawaii as a Purple Heart State on August 7, 2025, which is recognized as National Purple Heart Day. The resolution highlights the significance of the Purple Heart, a prestigious military decoration awarded to service members who have been wounded or killed while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The Legislature finds it appropriate to honor these service members' sacrifices, recognizing that their acts of extraordinary fidelity and service are foundational to the modern freedoms enjoyed by Americans. By seeking this designation, Hawaii would join other states in acknowledging and respecting Purple Heart recipients, and the resolution calls for a certified copy of the resolution to be transmitted to the Governor as part of this formal request.
