2 Veterans' Home Week."
3 WHEREAS, The history of our nation reflects the memories of
4 the men and women who have endeavored to preserve our freedom,

6 commitment, stands as a lasting tribute to the ideals we value
7 as Americans; and
8 WHEREAS, These heroes, every man and woman, relinquished a
9 part of their lives in defense of these United States, and their
10 struggles will never be forgotten, overlooked or underestimated;
1 and
2 WHEREAS, Those who served our country in the United States
3 Armed Forces forever carry the virtues of liberty, freedom and
4 the right to independence, and we, as citizens of the United
5 States of America, owe an inexpressible debt to these men and
6 women, and we take time here to thank each of these American
7 heroes, past and present; and
8 WHEREAS, The Commonwealth has, for more than 100 years,
9 provided a home for these distinguished veterans in need; and
10 WHEREAS, Pennsylvania will continue to honor its veterans by
11 providing them with support; therefore be it
12 RESOLVED, That, in recognition of our veterans and veterans'
13 homes, the House of Representatives proclaim June 9 through 15,
14 2002, as "State Veterans' Home Week" and encourage all citizens
15 to visit a State-supported home in Erie, Hollidaysburg, Spring
16 City, Scranton or Pittsburgh and thank these veterans and the
17 personnel who serve them.
