WHEREAS the people of our country have often opened our hearts,
our resources and our shore's to the people of the world who long for
the freedom we enjoy, and

people and the people of other countries, and
WHEREAS there are those who demonstrate their desire to destroy
our freedoms while bringing harm to fellow Americans as well as people
who long to be free, and

NOW THERFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby declares strong support of our troops in the
conduct of their mission.
