struggle will never be forgotten, overlooked or underestimated;
and
WHEREAS, Those who served this nation in the United States
Armed Forces forever carry the virtues of liberty, freedom and
the right to independence, and we, as citizens of the United
States of America, owe an inexpressible debt to these men and
women, and we take time to thank each of these American heroes,

homes, the Senate designate the week of June 12 through 18,

encourage all citizens to visit a State-supported home in Erie,
