Bill > SR94

This 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 military decoration awarded to service members who have been wounded or killed in military service to the United States. The legislative body recognizes the Purple Heart as a symbol of extraordinary fidelity and service, noting that recipients have made significant sacrifices that form the foundation of modern freedoms. By seeking this designation, the Hawaii Legislature aims to specifically honor and respect Purple Heart recipients, following the example of other state legislatures that have similarly acknowledged these veterans. The resolution calls for the Governor to formally recognize the state's appreciation for these service members and requests that a certified copy of the resolution be transmitted to the Governor.
