Whereas the future of this nation and the American way of life
depend on this nation's success in defending itself against its
enemies at home and abroad; and
Whereas a grateful nation honors all of its soldiers and
comforts the families and friends of soldiers who have lost their
lives in service to this nation; and
Whereas the Oregon National Guard has served bravely and
loyally in defense of this nation; and

Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
Oregon:
That we, the members of the Seventy-fourth Legislative
Assembly, designate December 13 of every year as 'Honor Our
