PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, recognizing the United States Armed Forces and supporting the
designation of a National Military Appreciation Month; raising
awareness that the freedoms and security citizens of the United
States enjoy today are the result of the blood shed and the vigilance
given by the United States Armed Forces over the history of our great
nation; and
WHEREAS, recognizing the sacrifices that members of the United States Armed
Forces and the family members that support them make which have
preserved the liberties that enrich this nation, making it unique in the
world community; and
WHEREAS, to foster and sustain such a commitment, it is vital for the youth of
the United States to understand that the service provided by members
of the Armed Forces and their families is an honorable legacy that
protects the freedoms enjoyed by citizens of the United States as
well as citizens of many other nations; and
WHEREAS, on April 30, 1999, the Senate passed S. Res. 33 (1061" Congress), as

Military Appreciation Month in May, to honor the current and former

pursuit of freedom and peace; and
