DESIGNATING THE STATE AS A PURPLE HEART STATE.

This is a symbolic House Resolution (not a bill), designating Hawaii as a "Purple Heart State" to honor military members who received the Purple Heart medal. It recognizes recipients of the Purple Heart - awarded for combat wounds, death in action, or prisoner-of-war status - and affirms Hawaii's support for veterans. The resolution has no legal effect or new policy changes; it merely expresses the state's appreciation through this designation. Certified copies will be sent to the Governor and Veterans' Services, but it does not alter benefits or create new obligations.
