           SUBJECT  :    California Firefighters Memorial Day

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This resolution proclaims September 29, 2007, as  
          California Firefighters Memorial Day.

           ANALYSIS  :    

          The resolution states:

          1.The dedicated men and women who risk their lives serving  
            and protecting the citizens and property of the state of  
            California, and who, through their work as firefighters,  
            put themselves in harms way on a daily basis.

          2.Their steadfast commitment to public service and  
            unwavering courage in the face of danger should not go  
            unrecognized.

                                                           CONTINUED

                                                                Page  
          2

          3.It is a harsh reality of the firefighting profession that  
            too often these champions of public service and safety  
            lose their lives in the line of duty, protecting and  
            preserving the beauty of this state and its people.

          4.On the grounds of the State Capitol there exists a  
            memorial bearing the names of over 1,000 fallen  
            firefighters, who will forever be remembered for their  
            bravery, humility, and selflessness.

          5.On September 29, 2007, firefighters and their families  
            will gather at the State Capitol with other Californians  
            to remember those whose lives were lost in the line of  
            duty this year and in years past, as part of the 2007  
            California Firefighters Memorial annual ceremony.

          This resolution proclaims Saturday, September 29, 2007, as  
          California Firefighters Memorial Day, and urges all  
          Californians to remember those firefighters who have given  
          their lives in the line of duty and to express appreciation  
          to those who everyday continue to protect our families,  
          hopes, and dreams.
