| 7 | 8 | | WHEREAS, America's military veterans hold a revered place in |

|---|
| 13 | 14 | | Day now honors all who have performed military service in this |
|---|
| 14 | 15 | | country's behalf; their dedication to duty, in wartime and in |
|---|
| 15 | 16 | | peacetime, is deserving of their fellow citizens' deepest |

|---|
| 20 | 21 | | died or been wounded during wartime, countless others have endured |
|---|
| 21 | 22 | | the hardships of POW camps, and thousands still remain missing; |
|---|
| 22 | 23 | | those who have returned home from war forever carry with them a |
|---|
| 23 | 24 | | profound understanding of loss and sacrifice; and |
|---|
| 24 | 25 | | WHEREAS, To all these men and women, Americans owe a debt that |
|---|
| 25 | 26 | | the passage of time can never diminish; it is a debt that calls us to |
|---|
| 26 | 27 | | recognize their valiant service and to honor, in deeds as well as |
|---|
| 27 | 28 | | words, those high ideals that represent the very best of this |
|---|
| 28 | 29 | | nation's heritage; now, therefore, be it |
|---|

|---|
| 30 | 31 | | Legislature hereby commemorate Veterans Day 2025 and pay tribute to |
