If enacted, HCR114 would enhance the cultural landscape of Hawaii by adding public memorials that articulate the veterans' legacy and contributions.

The proposed collaboration between cultural and veterans' service organizations marks a significant step towards honoring those who have served in the armed forces.
Summary
HCR114 is a House Concurrent Resolution from the State of Hawaii that requests the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to work in collaboration with the Office of Veterans' Services to plan and construct memorials dedicated to honoring the sacrifices and contributions of veterans from Hawaii. The resolution emphasizes the importance of public memorials as a significant means of recognizing the roles played by veterans in ensuring the freedom and security enjoyed by U.S. citizens today.
