RESOLUTION
WHEREAS Virtually four of every ten members of our nation's military forces today
are members of the National Guard or Reserve; and
WHEREAS More that 176,000 of our Reserve Component troops are currently on
active duty, alongside active duty forces, serving as equal partners in our
integrated Armed Forces in the global fight against terrorism; and
WHEREAS Like the Minutemen before them, they have left their homes and jobs and
donned uniforms to defend and advance the causes of democracy, peace
and freedom across our nation and around the world; and
WHEREAS The Governor of the State of Texas has paid tribute to those serving our
nation in the National Guard and Reserve, and, just as importantly, to the
civilian employers whose continued support enables our Reserve
Component soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines and coast guardsmen to
defend our country with honor and distinction; and
WHEREAS Honor and recognition are due those employers for their unselfish
commitment as they, too, become inextricably linked to our nation's
security by sharing their most precious assets, their employees, in a total
force concept in defense of our precious rights of democracy;
BE IT RESOLVED
That Kerr County Commissioners' Court does hereby designate the week
of November 8-13, 2004 to be
EMPLOYER SUPPORT OF THE GUARD AND RESERVE WEEK
And do hereby encourage all our citizens to join in wholehearted support
for our National Guard and Reserve personnel, and their civilian
employers, both of whom give so much for the freedoms we all enjoy.
