Recognizing

WHEREAS,
our nation's security continues to rely on patriotic men and women who put their
personal lives on hold in order to place themselves in harm's way to protect the
freedoms that all United States citizens cherish; and
WHEREAS,
Korean War veterans have demonstrated a deep personal commitment to protecting
democracy and a willingness to sacrifice their own personal safety and comfort
to ensure the well-being of their fellow man; and
WHEREAS,
they served as guardians of this nation's freedom and liberty and diligently and
conscientiously underwent intensive and rigorous training in order to serve
their country with honor and distinction during a time of war; and
WHEREAS,
it is important that Korean War veterans are thanked for their selfless service
to this nation and honored for their unyielding commitment to protecting the
people and ideals of the United States; and
WHEREAS,
Korean War veterans embody the spirit of service, willing to find meaning in
something greater than themselves, and it is abundantly fitting and proper that
the outstanding accomplishments and sacrifices of these remarkable and
distinguished Americans be honored appropriately.
NOW,
