TO DESIGNATE SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1991, AS "HONOR OUR ARMED FORCES DAY" IN SOUTH CAROLINA TO HONOR AND SUPPORT THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES STATIONED IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AND TO ENCOURAGE COMMUNITIES IN SOUTH CAROLINA TO PUBLICLY DEMONSTRATE THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE ARMED FORCES ON THAT DAY.
Whereas, many of the members of the Armed Forces have been activated or deployed in the Middle East after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990; and
Whereas, the brave and patriotic service men and women stationed in and around the Middle East have been actively striking back at Saddam Hussein and his aggressor forces since January 16, 1991, in a massive effort to drive the Iraqi military from Kuwait; and
Whereas, it is with heavy hearts but endless support that the American people watch and listen for news of their loved ones; and
Whereas, the people of South Carolina want the Allied Forces and the United States' military to rest assured in the knowledge that we are immensely proud of their work and send our full support and best wishes to them; and
Whereas, we believe the people fighting to keep peace in the world look for news from their homeland to provide them comfort and a sense of pride. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That Sunday, February 17, 1991, is designated as "Honor Our Armed Forces Day" in South Carolina.
Be it further resolved that people and communities throughout South Carolina are encouraged to unite and proceed with a formal outward display of their ardent support of the Allied troops through rallies and speeches on Sunday, February 17, 1991.
