PROCLAMATION
In times of crisis, our Nation depends on the courage and determination of the members of our
Nafional Guazd and Reserve. Across our country, these dedicated citizen-soldiers are answering
the call to serve. During National Employer Support of the Guazd and Reserve Week, we honor
the vital contributions of members of our Guazd and Reserve, and we express our gratitude for
the support shown to them by their employers.
In every generation, America has turned to the National Guard and Reserve to help respond to
natural disasters, secure our homeland, and defend our liberty. Today, National Guard and
Reserve personnel are serving on the front lines of freedom in the waz on terror, and they have
provided vital relief to our citizens affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Balancing the
demands of their families, civilian careers, and military assignments, members of our Guard and
Reserve demonstrate personal courage, love of country, and a commitment to duty that inspires
all Americans.
Employers play a critical role in helping the men and women of the National Guard and Reserve
carry out their mission. In offices, schools, hospitals, and other workplaces, employers provide
time off, pay, healthcare benefits, and job security to their Guard and Reserve employees. These
patriotic efforts allow our men and women in uniform to focus on their military assignments and
help strengthen our country. Americans are grateful to these employers for putting the needs of
our citizens and our country's safety and securiTy first.
As we continue to fight terrorism and advance peace around the world, Americans stand strongly
and proudly behind the men and women of the National Guazd and Reserve, and we express our
appreciation for the commitment of their employers.
NOW, THEREFORE, The Commissioners' Court of Ken County, Texas, by virtue of the
authority vested in the Commissioners' Court and the laws Texas and the United States of
America, do hereby proclaim November 20 through November 26, 2005, as National Employer
Support of the Guazd and Reserve Week. We encourage all Kerr County residents to join in
expressing thanks to members of our National Guazd and Reserve and their civilian employers
for their patriotism and sacrifices on behalf of our Nation. We also call upon all local officials,
private organizations and businesses to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and
activities.
