           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.
