brief statement of the essential features of the measure.
 
  Commending   { - firefighters - }   { + fire service
members + } of Oregon and declaring   { - September 11 - }
 { + January 27 + } of each year   { - Firefighter - }  { + Fire

                        JOINT RESOLUTION
  Whereas the fire service members of Oregon have dedicated
themselves to the protection of life and property of their fellow
Oregonians, often at great risk to their own safety and
well-being; and
  Whereas the fire service members of Oregon have continuously
supported efforts to elevate the standards and training of
firefighters and have been instrumental in increasing the
public's awareness of methods of fire prevention and suppression;
and
  Whereas firefighting is one of the most hazardous professions
and requires extensive training, strength, endurance, courage and
a selfless concern for the safety of the citizens of Oregon; and
  Whereas the contributions and sacrifices of valiant fire
service members often go unreported and are inadequately
recognized by the public; and
  Whereas the work of fire service members deserves the attention
and gratitude of all individuals in Oregon; now, therefore,
Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
  Oregon:
  That January 27 of each year is hereby recognized as Fire
Service Appreciation Day; and be it further
 
 
  Resolved, That the Legislative Assembly encourages all citizens
of Oregon to recognize and honor our fire service members for
their efforts to keep our citizens safe from the ravages of fire.
