           SUBJECT  :    California Heroes Month

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This resolution recognizes the month of September  
          2014, and each following September, as California Heroes Month.

           ANALYSIS  :    This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings: 

          1.Heroes hold concern for other people in need -- a concern to  
            defend a moral cause, knowing there is a personal risk and  
            acting without expectation of reward.

          2.The purpose of a Heroes Month, wherever in the nation it is  
            established, is to honor, recognize, and pay homage to those  
            acts of kindness and selfless courage by individuals, groups,  
            organizations, institutions, small businesses, or  
            corporations.

          3.A California Heroes Month affords an excellent opportunity for  
            our state to protect, uphold, and expand our country's values  
            by simply appreciating and empowering the spirit of heroism.

          4.A California Heroes Month is a magnificent opportunity for the  
            residents of California to educate the public on the  
                                                                CONTINUED





                                                                     SCR 97
                                                                     Page

            importance of selflessly giving and recognizing those local  
            conventional, nonconventional, and unsung heroes within each  
            community.

          This resolution recognizes the month of September 2014, and each  
          following September, as California Heroes Month, honoring the  
          valuable contributions of those Californians who uphold the  
          character of heroism.
