Proclaiming April, 2009, to be the Month of the Military Child.
W
HEREAS
, Thousands of brave Americans in active duty posts in
Afghanistan, Iraq and around the world have demonstrated their
courage and commitment to freedom by serving in the Armed Forces of
the United States of America; and
W
HEREAS
, More than seven thousand one hundred of West
Virginia's children have been directly affected by America's
commitment to freedom; and
W
HEREAS
, These children are a source of pride and honor to all
West Virginians; and
W
HEREAS
, It is fair and fitting that we take time to recognize
their contributions, acknowledge their sacrifices and celebrate their spirit; and
W
HEREAS
, Our men and women in uniform need to know that while
they are taking care of us, we are caring for their children; and
W
HEREAS
, The recognition of a Month of the Military Child will
allow us to pay tribute to military children for their commitment,
their struggles and their unconditional support of our troops; and
W
HEREAS
, A month-long salute to military children will
encourage local community support to provide direct support to
military children and families; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That April, 2009, to be the Month of the Military Child; and,
be it
Further Resolved, That the Legislature urges all schools and
youth organizations to participate in this month long recognition
of the vital role played by children who have one or both parents
serving in the United States military; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates,
forward a certified copy of this resolution to the State
Superintendent of Schools, the Boy Scouts of America, the Girl
Scouts of America, The West Virginia University 4-H Council and
Richard F. Switzer, West Virginia Operation: Military Kids.
