            House Resolution No. 387.

            A resolution to declare December 4-10, 2016, as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Week in the state of Michigan.

            Whereas, On "December 7th, 1941, a Date Which Will Live in Infamy," said President Franklin D. Roosevelt, "the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan"; and
            Whereas, This date marked the entry of the United States into World War II, a conflict whose outcome has shaped the world in which we grew up and live today, three quarters of a century later; and
            Whereas, We who live in the relative peace and security of America in the 21st century owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to those millions of men and women who served our country in uniform throughout that costly conflict. Among them are the parents, grandparents,  and great-grandparents who raised many of us here today, but also the over 400,000 Americans who on foreign fields of battle gave the ultimate sacrifice. Had they survived, the lives of generations of their descendants who would have followed and would live among us today; and
            Whereas, 2016 marks the 75th anniversary of that "Date Which Will Live in Infamy"; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare December 4-10, 2016, as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Week in the state of Michigan. We  honor and salute the nearly 13,000 citizens of Michigan who were casualties of World War II, including at least 31 Marine and Navy personnel from Michigan who died in Pearl Harbor 75 years ago. Bronze Star winner and former United States Army Sgt. Don Bloomfield of Midland is one of Michigan’s last known survivors of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
