            A resolution recognizing November 12, 2007, as Military Moms' Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Members of the United States Military have brought great honor to our nation and have given true meaning to the highest standard of patriotism and service; they have voluntarily forgone comfort and wealth, accepted the necessary sacrifices, and even given their lives so that we and others around the world may live in freedom; and

Whereas, Since its inception, Military Moms has worked to support and provide encouragement to families of military personnel of all branches of service; and

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize November 12, 2007, as Military Moms' Day in the state Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we honor and thank Military Moms and all parents of armed services personnel.  The special role they provide, with loyal and unselfish love and dedication each day, is the backbone and strength of our military; and be it further

            Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Michigan Military Moms as a token of our esteem and respect.
