Resolution that states: Expressing Support for Active Duty United States Service Members and Their Families WHEREAS, members of the United States Armed Forces stand ready to defend our nation at great personal risk; and WHEREAS, recent military operations involving United States forces have already resulted in American casualties and serious injuries, as well as heightened deployments, placing service members and their families at immediate risk; and WHEREAS, any military action places active duty service members in harm's way and directly impacts their families and loved ones; and WHEREAS, the City of Boston is home to veterans, active duty service members, National Guard members, reservists, and military families who serve with distinction; and WHEREAS, I am the mother of a son currently serving in the 82nd Airborne Division, United States Army, and understand firsthand the weight that deployments place on families; and WHEREAS, our nation's history reminds us that disagreement over war policy must never translate into a failure to support those who have voluntarily stepped forward to serve, taken an oath to defend the Constitution, and protect our nation; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that the Boston City Council expresses its steadfast support for all active duty United States service members who may be placed in harm's way; and RESOLVED, that the Council affirms its commitment to supporting military families in the City of Boston through community resources, services, and public recognition; and RESOLVED, that the Council calls upon all residents of Boston to stand united in gratitude for the courage, sacrifice, and service of our troops.
