RE:   H.C.R. No. 175

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military 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,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to honor and remember the lives of members of the United States Armed Forces who have lost their lives in the line of duty by urging the United States Congress to designate the Honor and Remember Flag as a national symbol of recognition of this sacrifice.

     A concerned individual supported this concurrent resolution.

     Your Committee finds that the "Honor and Remember Flag," with its symbols of the bravery, sacrifice, purity of sacrifice, and eternal spirit of the departed warrior, is a fitting tribute to our service members who have given their lives in the line of duty.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 175 and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs,
