House Resolution No. 371.

A resolution to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Great Union of Romania.

Whereas, In 2018 Romanians all across the United States celebrate 100 years since the Great Union of Romanians, which led to the consolidation of a modern state inspired by the principles of freedom, democracy, economic liberty and social progress; and

Whereas, The United States and Romania share a deep and longstanding friendship built around democratic values, historical ties, and a joint commitment to advancing the strength of transatlantic security and the promise of their mutual prosperity; and

Whereas, The talent, energy and creativity of successive generations of Romanian-Americans, their rich cultural heritage and their contributions to American progress represent a most precious feature of the American society; and

Whereas, Ties between Michigan and Romania are increasingly more diverse due to an expansion in bilateral trade, educational programs, and the advent of an open community of American and Romanian youth who engage freely in innovation and entrepreneurship; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, The members of this legislative body commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Great Union of Romania. We congratulate Romania, the Romanian people, and all Romanian-Americans in the state of Michigan and commend Romania for her achievements as a vibrant nation and for being a close and trusted friend of the United States.
