Whereas, North Carolina takes great pride in the military personnel stationed at Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point, Fort Bragg, Pope Air Force Base, and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base; and
Whereas, more than 75,000 individuals from these military installations are serving in the Persian Gulf; and
Whereas, in addition, many North Carolinians who are members of the reserve components of the armed services and of the North Carolina National Guard are also serving in the Persian Gulf; and
Whereas, it is important to the military personnel and to their families that the citizens of this State support them during this crisis; and
Whereas, the General Assembly pledges to continue its support for the troops and their families and encourages the citizens of North Carolina to do the same; and
Whereas, the General Assembly is saddened by the loss of life of the military personnel serving in the Persian Gulf and expresses its sympathy to their families;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
