Assembly Concurrent RESOLUTION—Expressing support for American military troops again in harm’s way.

 

    Whereas, Almost one-quarter of a million American men and

 women are engaged in war with Iraq; and

    Whereas, These members of our Armed Forces are exposed to

 great danger and to the hazards and discomforts of the harshest of

 climates; and

    Whereas, They have forsaken home, family and friends in

 obedience to the call of their country and fidelity to their oath of

 service; and

    Whereas, They undertake this duty and prepare to make the

 ultimate sacrifice out of love for their country and the freedoms for

 which it stands; and

    Whereas, The men and women leave behind spouses, children

 and parents who suffer great anxiety and make great sacrifices to

 enable our servicemen and women to fulfill their patriotic

 obligation; now, therefore, be it

    Resolved by the Assembly of the State of Nevada, the

 Senate Concurring, That the Nevada Legislature commends the

 noble, selfless and heroic efforts of our American servicemen and

 women; and be it further

    Resolved, That the members of the Nevada Legislature join

 with all Nevadans in laying aside debates about the prudence of the

 cause in which our country is engaged and pray that this conflict

 may speedily end and that these brave men and women may return

 safely home to their families and friends; and be it further

    Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly prepare and

 transmit a copy of this resolution to the Commanding Officers of all

 military forces from Nevada currently serving in the war with Iraq,

 including the Adjutant General of the Nevada National Guard, the

Commanding Officer of Nellis Air Force Base and the Commanding

Officer of the Fallon Naval Air Station.
