SENATE RESOLUTION No. 8


MADAM PRESIDENT:

    I offer the following resolution and move its adoption:

        A SENATE RESOLUTION requesting the bureau of motor vehicles to issue a special license plate for Bronze Star recipients.

    Whereas, The Bronze Star is awarded by the United States armed forces for "heroism or meritorious achievement in ground combat";

    Whereas, The Bronze Star may be awarded for bravery, merit, or meritorious service;

    Whereas, When it is awarded for bravery, the Bronze Star is the fourth highest combat award of the United States armed forces and the ninth highest military award (including both combat and noncombat awards); and

    Whereas, Our nation creates special days to recognize the sacrifices of all men and women in our armed forces, but the creation of a license plate for Hoosier veterans who have received the Bronze Star would recognize these war heroes every day: Therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate of the

General Assembly of the State of Indiana:


    SECTION 1. That the bureau of motor vehicles is hereby requested to design and issue a special license plate for Bronze Star recipients.
    SECTION 2. That copies of this resolution be transmitted by the

Secretary of the Senate to the commissioner of the bureau of motor vehicles.
