A JOINT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MONTANA RECOGNIZING THE MILITARY SERVICE OF MONTANANS IN THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES.
WHEREAS, all Americans have the right, by virtue of wearing the noble title of citizen, to great personal freedoms in the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness; and
WHEREAS, the history of our young country demonstrates countless examples of bravery and personal sacrifice in order to preserve the freedoms and liberties of the collective citizenry; and
WHEREAS, since September 11, 2001, the nation has once again called upon those who have dedicated their lives to the defense of the nation to stand up against forces that wish ill upon the United States; and
WHEREAS, Montanans have always answered the call to defend the nation, and Montanans will continue to serve and lead in the global war on terror; and
WHEREAS, Montanans serving in every branch of service, both on active duty and in the National Guard and Reserves, have been deployed in the global war on terror at great personal sacrifice to themselves and their families; and
WHEREAS, a number of Montanans have made the ultimate sacrifice in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom; and
WHEREAS, we as Montanans will continue to support these heroes as they return home to face the challenge of rejoining family, friends, and community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MONTANA:
That the Montana Legislature recognize the dedication, professionalism, and bravery of all Montanans who have served and will serve in the armed forces of the United States as a part of the global war on terror.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Secretary of State send copies of this resolution to the Montana Congressional Delegation, the respective Secretaries of the United States Army, Navy, and Air Force, the Commandant of the United States Marine Corps, the Commandant of the United States Coast Guard, and the Adjutant General of the Montana National Guard.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Montana Department of Military Affairs, be encouraged to promote this resolution by encouraging the family members and friends of Montana's active duty military service members to contact the Department with the names and mailing addresses of the service members so that the Department may send a copy of this resolution to each Montana service member.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the purpose and intent of this resolution is to convey to Montana service personnel that the heartfelt thanks of all Montanans are extended to them, that we are proud of them, that they are in our prayers, and that we send them best wishes for a safe return.
