3 WHEREAS, The history of our nation reflects the memories of

6 commitment, stands as a lasting tribute to the ideals we value
7 as Americans; and

10 struggles will never be forgotten, overlooked or underestimated;
11 and
1 WHEREAS, Those who served our country in the United States
2 Armed Forces forever carry the virtues of liberty, freedom and
3 the right to independence, and we, as citizens of the United
4 States of America, owe an inexpressible debt to these men and
5 women, and we take time here to thank each of these American
6 heroes, past and present; and
7 WHEREAS, The Commonwealth has, for more than 100 years,
8 provided a home for these distinguished veterans in need; and
9 WHEREAS, Pennsylvania will continue to honor its veterans by
10 providing them with support; therefore be it
11 RESOLVED, That, in recognition of our veterans and veterans'
12 homes, the House of Representatives proclaim the week of June 10
13 through 16, 2007, as "State Veterans' Home Week" and encourage
14 all citizens to visit a State-supported home in Erie,
15 Hollidaysburg, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Scranton or Spring City
16 and thank these veterans and the personnel who serve them.
