Title
PRESENTATION by the Veterans Affairs Officer of a Proclamation proclaiming the month of May 2010 as "National Military Appreciation Month" in the County of El Dorado. (Est. Time: 10 Min.)
Body
Background: As designated by Congress, National Military Appreciation Month provides a period encompassing both the history and recognition of our armed services with an in-depth look at the diversity of its individuals and achievements. It allows Americans to educate each generation on the historical impact of our military through the participation of the community with those who serve encouraging patriotism and love for America.
This month gives the nation a time and place on which to focus and draw attention to our many expressions of appreciation and recognition of our armed services via numerous venues and also to recall and learn about our vast American history.
This very important month honors, remembers, recognizes and appreciates all military personnel; those men and women who have served throughout our history and all who now serve in uniform and their families as well as those Americans who have given their lives in defense of our freedom we all enjoy today
