While these honorees are very worthy, how about naming something else besides bridges, tunnels, and airports after them? It is extremely confusing.
There are already three thousand (slight exaggeration) things named after Senator Inouye.
Fun Fact about Hawaii and naming things after politicians: When the H-3 Freeway was built, the tunnels through the Koolau Range were named after the former chief engineer for the state. When a new governor (Cayetano) got elected, they were renamed after a former governor, John Burns (who already had a medical school named after him, as well as some other edifices). When yet another governor (Lingle) got elected, the tunnels were stripped of the Burns name and again assigned to the former chief engineer:
