SR 185 Hawaii Senate · 2024 Regular Session

REQUESTING ALL BRANCHES OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY TO DISPLAY THE HAWAIIAN FLAG ON ALL UNITED STATES MILITARY RESERVATIONS AND MILITARY TRAINING FACILITIES IN THE STATE.

This Senate resolution asks all branches of the U.S. military to display the Hawaiian flag at military reservations and training facilities located in Hawaii. The request is based on the idea that showing a state flag is a sign of respect for the local people, land, and culture, especially since over 300,000 military personnel and many facilities are stationed in the state. The bill does not create new laws or force any action; instead, it sends a formal letter to federal leaders and military commanders to encourage them to follow a 2020 policy that allows state flags to be shown on military property.
