Whereas, Veterans, along with their families, sacrifice very much to ensure our freedom and liberty. The people of Michigan and the United States are eternally grateful; and
Whereas, We honor those who have fallen in past conflicts in the service of freedom and remember their ultimate sacrifice. We pledge to honor and respect veterans; and
Whereas, Some veterans returned home wounded in defense of our country and many more returned home with scars that cannot be seen; and
Whereas, Gen. MacArthur said “The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war” and
Whereas, We can never truly repay all that veterans have sacrificed for this great country. It is only right that we honor them and their sacrifices; and
Whereas, During the month that we celebrate Veterans Day, we recognize veterans from our humble beginning to current conflicts. Veterans have served our country in the most important role of our 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’s veterans. We express our enduring gratitude and utmost respect for their service to both our great state and our great nation.
