A resolution to honor Michigan’s veterans.
Whereas, There are 18.82 million veterans in the United States, and over 560,000 veterans in Michigan, who are deserving of our highest praise and greatest admiration; and
Whereas, Veterans, along with their families, sacrifice so much for all of us, the people of Michigan and the United States are eternally grateful; and
Whereas, The House of Representatives is mindful that each passing day leaves us with fewer of those who served our nation in our darkest days; and
Whereas, We are often called to honor those who have fallen in the current conflicts in the service of freedom, and we stand with their families in remembrance of their ultimate sacrifice. We know that another great generation awaits its arrival home from battlefields across the globe, and we pledge to honor them upon their arrival; and
Whereas, Some veterans returned home wounded in defense of our country, others returned home with scars that can’t be seen, while others made the ultimate sacrifice; and
Whereas, We can never truly repay all veterans have given to this country, it is only right that we honor them and their sacrifice by ensuring that they have the tools they need to succeed in life when they return home; and
Whereas, It is important to promote and support solutions to the unique challenges that veterans face, we will continue to fight for the policies that veterans deserve; and
Whereas, We recognize that, whether they toiled on the beaches of Normandy, in the blue skies of the Cold War, or on a remote hillside in Afghanistan, all veterans have served our country in the most important role of government – as protectors of freedom, and have formed the foundation upon which we continue to build this nation; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Michigan veterans. We express our gratitude and admiration for their service to our state and our nation.
