Miscellaneous Resolution # 91004
BY: Richard G. Skarritt, County Commissioner - District #2
RE: TRIBUTE TO THE MEN AND WOMEN OF DESERT STORM
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, to American ideals of liberty and fteedom; enslavement, oppression,
and tyranny at the hands of a despot are more abrasive than the blowing sands
of the Iraq Desert; and
WHEREAS, with the hope that this time is the last time, the men and women
of the United States Armed Forces have left behind their families, careers, and
every-day lives to enter battle for the protection of not only the persecuted
and victimized people of another Country, but as a reaffirmation of our own
deeply-rooted love of democracy, and our soul-felt desire for a World of Peace;
and
WHEREAS, with trepidation for their safe return, but with pride in their
determination to continue our Nation's long history of fighting for what is
right, what is fair, and what is just, we join with freedom-loving people
across this Earth in honoring and supporting the United States Troops and
Allied Armed Forces united against aggression and totalitarianism.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby acclaim the men and women of the United States Armed Forces in
their pursuit of the defense of liberty and freedom, and extends to the men and
women of Desert Storm our deepest gratitude and our most fervent prayers.
Mr. Chairperson, T move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
