HONOLULU (Tribune News Service) — A 100-year-old Oahu veteran has inspired a bipartisan bill to add a commemorative display honoring U.S. service members who fought in the Pacific theater to the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument, which is home to the USS Arizona Memorial.
U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa (D-Hawaii) introduced the “Admiral Lloyd R. ‘Joe’ Vasey Pacific War Commemorative Display Establishment Act” Wednesday along with Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah), who is chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources and an Armed Services Committee member.
