A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
TO HONOR THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES
ARMED FORCES WHO SUCCESSFULLY AND COURAGEOUSLY
DEFENDED OUR COUNTRY DURING OPERATION DESERT
STORM.
Whereas, the men and women of the Marine Corps, Navy, Army, and
the Air Force Reserves, the South Carolina National Guard and the
regular United States Armed Forces have conducted themselves with
unyielding loyalty and dedication to the United States of America during
Operation Desert Storm; and
Whereas, the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, as
well as their families and friends, have endured great hardship and
sacrifice in an effort to thwart Iraq's naked aggression and tyranny; and
Whereas, the people of South Carolina have rallied behind President
George Bush in an effort to show their support for the United States
troops in the Persian Gulf and seek a safe and swift return for the troops;
and
Whereas, the United States Armed Forces and the other coalition forces
presented the enemy with a strong unified body of troops whose
professionalism and discipline crushed the will of the enemy troops who
opposed them; and
Whereas, as a result of the determination of our troops, the United States
of America was vital in achieving one of the most devastating and
decisive victories in the history of mankind and restoring peace to the
Middle East; and
Whereas, the United States of America has clearly proven that it has the
capacity to wage war with a ferocity that no other nation can hope to
oppose with success. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly and the people of South
Carolina are grateful to the men and women of the Marine Corps, Navy,
Army and the Air Force Reserves, the South Carolina National Guard
and the regular United States Armed Forces for successfully and
courageously defending our nation and hereby bestow upon them our
highest honor and respect for their essential role in Operation Desert
Storm.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
President George Bush, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Colin Powell, the
President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States
House of Representatives, the members of the South Carolina
Congressional Delegation, and Eston Marchant, Adjutant General of
South Carolina.
