Request the Department of Public Safety, Sheriff Division to display the National League of Families' Prisoner of War and Missing in Action (POW/MIA) flag year-round at the Hawaii State Capitol.

The POW/MIA flag was officially recognized by U.S. Public Law 101-355 and designated as a symbol of the nation's commitment to resolving the fates of Americans held prisoner, missing, or unaccounted for in Southeast Asia.

Federal law requires the flag to be flown on six national holidays above major U.S. buildings including the White House, United States Capitol, and military installations.

The flag currently flies at state capitols in multiple states and serves as a constant reminder of prisoners of war and those missing in action.

Direct certified copies of the resolution to the Governor of Hawaii and the Director of Public Safety.
