REQUESTING THE GOVERNOR TO ISSUE A PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING HAWAII AS A PURPLE HEART STATE ON AUGUST 7, 2025.

SCR 113 is a ceremonial resolution requesting the Governor of Hawaii to issue a proclamation designating Hawaii as a "Purple Heart State" on August 7, 2025 (National Purple Heart Day). It does not create new laws or policies but formally asks the Governor to honor service members who have received the Purple Heart medal - awarded for injuries or deaths in military service. The resolution cites Hawaii's legislative intent to recognize these veterans, following the practice of other states. This is a symbolic gesture with no direct impact on state programs or funding.
