the month of May, we honor those  Americans  who  gave  their  lives  in
defense  of  their  country,  whether in the Civil War which divided our
nation or in times of war since that time, and in  times  of  peace,  in
police  actions  and  minor  skirmishes,  in  peacekeeping  roles and in
missions to foreign lands to uphold the cherished principles of  liberty
and democracy upon which our grand Republic was founded; and

  WHEREAS,  William  Cherry  earned  his Bachelor of Science degree in

enhance the quality of life in their community and have shown a long and
sustained commitment to the  maintenance  of  high  standards  in  their

profession,  certainly  have  earned the recognition and applause of all
