Reps. Stamas, Barnett, Brown, Crawford, Driskell, Durhal, Geiss, Heise, Howrylak, Kowall, O'Brien, Roberts and Slavens offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 340.
A resolution to declare April 2014 as Month of the Military Child in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Thousands of brave Americans have demonstrated their courage and commitment to freedom by serving the armed forces of the United States of America in active duty posts in Afghanistan, Iraq and around the world; and
Whereas, More than 17,000 of Michigan’s children and youth have been directly affected by the military deployments of at least one parent; and
Whereas, These children and youth are a source of pride and honor to us all, and it is only fitting that we take time to recognize their contributions, celebrate their spirit, and let our men and women in uniform know that while they are taking care of us, we are taking care of their children and youth; and
Whereas, The recognition of Month of the Military Child will allow us to pay tribute to military children and youth for their commitment, their struggles, and their unconditional support of our troops because when parents serve in the military, their kids are heroes too; and
Whereas, A month-long salute to military children and youth will encourage local community support to provide direct support to military children and families; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representative, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2014 as Month of the Military Child in the state of Michigan.
