the United States Government to recognize the sacrifices being made by members of the
armed services by extending certain rights and privileges to those who serve and the
survivors of those who make the supreme sacrifice; and

conditions of war without being extended some of the rights and privileges previously
accorded those serving under similar conditions;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Board of Supervisors recommends it to be
the policy of the Government of the United States to extend rights and privileges as
