SUMMARY : Proclaims California as a Purple Heart State, honoring
the service and sacrifices of our nation's men and women in
uniform wounded or killed by the enemy while serving to protect
the freedoms enjoyed by all Americans. Specifically, this
resolution makes the following legislative findings:
1)Many citizens of our state have earned the Purple Heart Medal
as a result of being wounded while engaged in combat with an
enemy force, recognized as a singularly meritorious act of
essential services; and, many men and women in uniform have
given their lives while serving in the Armed Forces.
2)Veterans have paid the high price of freedom by leaving their
families and placing themselves in harm's way for the good of
all; and, the people of the State of California have a great
admiration and the utmost gratitude for all the men and women
who have selflessly served their country and this state in the
Armed Forces.
3)The contributions and sacrifices of the men and women from the
State of California who served in the Armed Forces have been
vital in maintaining the freedoms and way of life enjoyed by
our citizens.
