A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO DECLARE SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 2011, AS "VIETNAM-ERA VETERANS APPRECIATION DAY" IN OCONEE COUNTY AND TO OFFER OUR GRATITUDE FOR THE MILITARY SERVICE OF THESE HEROES.

Whereas, the men and women who have worn the military uniforms of our great nation since its birth in 1776 have offered and made sacrifices far greater than most would ever dream to think about; and

Whereas, over two million of them have made the ultimate sacrifice in giving their lives while serving our country for the sake of someone's freedom; and

Whereas, 210 of those have called Oconee County their home and have their names inscribed on an honored War Memorial in front of the Oconee courthouse; and

Whereas, on March 26, 2011, every citizen in Oconee County would like to pause and give thanks for the efforts of all men and women who served our nation so well during the Vietnam War; and

Whereas, it is fitting and appropriate for the members of the Senate to pause in their deliberations to remember those who join in the aspiration for a world that is just, peaceful, and free. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate, by this resolution, declare Saturday, March 26, 2011, as "Vietnam-Era Veterans Appreciation Day" in Oconee County and to offer our gratitude for the military service of these heroes.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Oconee County Council.
