A RESOLUTION
Recognizing the month of April 2011 as "Month of the Military
Child" in Pennsylvania.
WHEREAS, Thousands of brave Americans have demonstrated their
courage and commitment to freedom by serving the armed forces of
the United States in active duty posts in Afghanistan, Iraq and
around the world; and
WHEREAS, More than 32,000 of Pennsylvania's children and
youth have been directly affected by the military deployment of
at least one parent; and
WHEREAS, These children and youth are a source of pride and
honor to this Commonwealth, and it is only fitting that their
contributions are recognized, their spirits are celebrated and
Pennsylvania's men and women in uniform know that while they are
taking care of us, we are taking care of their children and
- 1 -
youth; and
WHEREAS, The recognition of a month of a military child will
allow us to pay tribute to military children and youth for their
commitments, their struggles and their unconditional support of
our troops - because when parents serve in the military, their
kids are heroes too; and
WHEREAS, A month-long salute to military children and youth
will encourage local community support to provide direct support
to military children and families; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives recognize the
month of April 2011 as "Month of the Military Child" in
Pennsylvania and urge all residents and business and government
leaders to observe the month with appropriate ceremonies and
activities that honor, support and thank military children.
