In June, Sen. Mazie Hirono sat down with a group of Native Hawaiian veterans at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) in Honolulu to discuss the Parity for Native Hawaiian Veterans Act, legislation she is introducing with Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI), and Representatives Jill Tokuda (D-HI) and Ed Case (D-HI).
