A RESOLUTION
Remembering the sacrifices of the brave men and women in our
armed forces as Memorial Day approaches.
WHEREAS, Each May, Americans mark Memorial Day to grieve the
loss of soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines who were killed in
battle and celebrate the freedoms and rights they gained for us
through their sacrifices; and
WHEREAS, Since 1776, the roll call of the fallen heroes has
climbed to well over one million people; and
WHEREAS, When it comes to military service, this Commonwealth
has given more than its share in sweat and blood; and
WHEREAS, The willingness of the men and women of this
Commonwealth to answer the call to duty is made clear by the
number of veterans living in communities across Pennsylvania;
and
WHEREAS, We honor American patriots who put their lives on
the line to win this nation's independence more than two
centuries ago, the American brothers who fought one another over
the struggle for liberty and freedom during the Civil War, and
the hundreds of thousands of brave men and women who fought to
defend our freedom all over the world throughout America's
history; and
WHEREAS, Memorial Day provides a time to remember with
reverence those who fought to bring us peace on terms that
enable us to live as residents of the greatest nation in the
world with civil liberties envied and emulated by nations around
the globe; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate join all citizens of this
Commonwealth in remembering the sacrifices that have been made
by those who came before us, so that we may enjoy the freedoms
we have today, and let us honor our veterans and pay tribute to
them on Memorial Day and all year round.
