SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 47 |
|
OBSERVING APRIL 30, 2014 AS THE OFFICIAL DAY OF RECOGNITION OF THE MILITARY CHILD IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE. |
WHEREAS, thousands of brave Americans demonstrate their courage and commitment to freedom by serving the Armed Forces of the United States both on Active Duty and in the National Guard and Reserves; and
WHEREAS, approximately 2,005 school-aged children with parents serving full time duty status in the military either on Active Duty, Reserves, or in the National Guard are living in or stationed in Delaware; and
WHEREAS, Delaware is committed to being an active participant in the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children which facilitates military children's transition in school systems across state lines; and
WHEREAS, the State of Delaware is partnering with the U.S. Department of Defense to increase access to affordable, quality childcare for military children; and
WHEREAS, the youth of our service members continue to make significant contributions to family, schools, communities, the nation and our state, despite prolonged and repeated absences of one or both parents; and
WHEREAS, these children are a source of pride and honor to us all, and it is only fitting that we take the 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 helping in the care of their children; and
WHEREAS, the recognition of April as the "Month of the Military Child" allows us to pay tribute to military children for their commitment, patience, courage and unconditional support of our troops and their family members;
NOW, THEREFORE:
BE IT RESOLVED that the Senate of the 147th General Assembly, the House of Representatives concurring therein, do hereby set aside April 30, 2014 as the official Day of Recognition of the Military Child in the State of Delaware, and urge all citizens, businesses, educators, and government leaders to mark this day with appropriate observance to honor, support, and thank our military children.
