SUMMARY : Proclaims the week of June 29 through July 5, 2009,
Yellow Ribbon Week, in support of military families and their
loved ones who are defending our country and fighting for the
preservation of freedom for all; and, provides an opportunity
for Californians to extend sincerest appreciation for the
sacrifices military families and our troops are making and to
commemorate our troops and their families with ceremonial
activities. Specifically, this resolution makes the following
legislative findings:
1)The Yellow Ribbon America Campaign was founded in February
2003, as a nonpartisan, grassroots effort to unite all
Americans in directly helping our Nation's military members
and their families during wartime; and, local businesses,
residents, churches, and community groups focus their
resources on helping military members and their families in
their communities.
2)Yellow Ribbon America is a proud National Community Outreach
Partner for the federal Defense Department's "America Supports
You" and Military Severely Injured Center's "Heroes to
Hometowns" programs.
3)Californians are proud of our troops and their families and
appreciate the great sacrifice they are making to ensure
freedom for all; and, ceremonial activities have been planned
to commemorate Yellow Ribbon Week in support of military
families.
