WHEREAS, the 2nd Bravo 121st Battalion of the 48th Brigade of the Georgia Army National Guard in Newnan, Georgia, have long been recognized by the citizens of this nation for the vital role that they have played in leadership and their deep personal commitment to the welfare of the citizens of the United States; and

WHEREAS, these military heroes have diligently and conscientiously undergone intensive and rigorous training in order to serve their country with honor and distinction during the global war on terror; and

WHEREAS, they have selflessly devoted their time and energy to full-time training since February 2, 2009, attending training at Fort Polk in Louisiana and Fort Gordon and Fort Stewart in Georgia; and

WHEREAS, on April 13, 2009, the unit will journey to Camp Shelby in Mississippi and is scheduled for deployment to Afghanistan in May, 2009, to serve as guardians of this nation's freedom and liberty; and

WHEREAS, this will be this brave and courageous unit's second tour, with their first mission in Iraq in 2005 and 2006; and

WHEREAS, their selfless and heroic actions stand as a shining tribute to the strength of human spirit and willpower, and it is abundantly fitting and proper that the outstanding accomplishments of these remarkable and distinguished Americans be recognized appropriately.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body commend the 2nd Bravo 121st Battalion of the 48th Brigade of the Georgia Army National Guard for their strength, leadership, and courage in their willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves; wish them Godspeed upon the occasion of their deployment to Afghanistan; and extend their most profound and sincere appreciation for them and all members of the United States military who stand ever ready to lay the ultimate sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
