Request the Department of Public Safety, Sheriff Division to display the POW/MIA flag at the State Capitol on Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and National POW/MIA Recognition Day each year.

The POW/MIA flag was designed by the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia and was officially recognized by U.S. Public Law 101-355 as a national symbol.

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

The flag serves as a visible reminder of Americans still unaccounted for as prisoners of war or missing in action and the commitment to resolving their fates.

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