     76th OREGON LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY--2011 Regular Session

                            Enrolled

                 Senate Concurrent Resolution 15

Sponsored by Senator OLSEN

  Whereas since the Revolutionary War, more than one million
members of the Armed Forces of the United States have sacrificed
their lives in the line of duty to preserve our freedom; and
  Whereas the Honor and Remember Flag is the symbol of our
nation's concern and commitment to honoring and remembering the
lives of all members of the Armed Forces of the United States who
have lost their lives in the line of duty; and
  Whereas the red field of the Honor and Remember Flag represents
the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for freedom;
and
  Whereas the blue star on the Honor and Remember Flag is a
symbol of active service in military conflict that dates back to
World War I; and
  Whereas the white border surrounding the gold star on the Honor
and Remember Flag recognizes the purity of sacrifice; and
  Whereas the gold star on the Honor and Remember Flag signifies
the ultimate sacrifice of a warrior in active service who is not
returning home and reflects the value of the life given; and
  Whereas the folded flag element of the Honor and Remember Flag
highlights this nation's final tribute to a fallen service member
and a family's sacrifice; and
  Whereas the flame on the Honor and Remember Flag symbolizes the
eternal spirit of the departed; and
  Whereas the 111th United States Congress designated the Honor
and Remember Flag to officially recognize and honor fallen
members of the Armed Forces of the United States; now, therefore,

Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
  Oregon:

  That we, the members of the Seventy-sixth Legislative Assembly,
designate the national Honor and Remember Flag for fallen members
of the armed forces as the official honor and remember flag for
the State of Oregon.
