Page 2
1)Pioneering men and women, known as cowboys, helped establish
America's frontiers.
2)The cowboy archetype transcends gender, generations,
ethnicity, geographic boundaries, and political affiliation;
the cowboy embodies honesty, integrity, courage, compassion,
and determination; and the cowboy spirit exemplifies
patriotism and strength of character.
3)Cowboy traditions have been part of the American landscape and
culture since 1523, and today's cowboys and cowgirls continue
to strive to serve and to preserve and perpetuate this unique
element of America's heritage.
4)The cowboy continues to be an important part of the economy
through the work of approximately 656,500 ranches in all 50
states, and membership and participation in the National Day
of the Cowboy Celebration, Single Action Shooting Society,
Working Ranch Cowboys Association, Cowboy Mounted Shooting
Association, American Quarter Horse Association, Professional
Rodeo Cowboys Association, Championship Bull Riding, Women's
Professional Rodeo Association, and other organizations that
encompass the livelihood of the cowboy continue to expand
nationally and internationally.
This resolution recognizes July 25, 2015, as the National Day of
the Cowboy, and encourages the people of the State of California
