Lord, we come to You this morning knowing You are in control of all. Your hand of guidance is on each of us. A few days past, many of us were blessed to gather with our families and friends in a day of thanksgiving and gratitude for the bountiful harvest which filled the barns and bins with the produce of Your earth. For this, we thank You, Lord.
Since this time, we have suffered loss in our communities and families. Many of us have lost a loved one that we may have gathered to celebrate Thanksgiving with. Lord, we ask Your presence to be known to those who are suffering this loss in their lives on this day.
Lord, we thank You for those who serve our communities, our state, our nation, and guide them according to Your will. We ask Your guidance upon this chamber as we do the work of the people. May this work be done not for our individual glory but for the glory of You, our Lord. This we ask in Your name. Amen.

Resolutions
Senators Stamas and Irwin offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 99.
A resolution to designate December 2021 as Kalitta Charters Appreciation Month.
Whereas, Since January 1, 2007, Kalitta Charters’ flight crews have been exclusively tasked with one of the most challenging but critical aviation missions in the country, one that comes with an immense emotional toll, the dignified transfer home of America’s fallen heroes, without fail; and
Whereas, After two decades of perpetual war, Kalitta Charters, a family-owned charter and aviation services company located at Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, Michigan, has flown over 2,600 missions to bring our fallen sons and daughters home; and
Whereas, Through the dedication of Kalitta Charters’ pilots, staff, and maintenance teams, four Falcon 20 jets were modified to begin the “Dignified Transfer Missions”; and
Whereas, The maintenance members of Kalitta Charters helped design the first system to load and unload American fallen heroes in a way that was dignified to them and the sacrifice they made for our country; and
Whereas, The number one objective of Kalitta Charters’ pilots is to return American fallen heroes home to their families and friends as quickly and as dignified as possible; and
Whereas, Additionally, Kalitta Charters’ pilots and aircraft serve as backup for any commercial flight carrying American fallen heroes, ensuring our nation’s bravest get to their family and friends with few interruptions; and
Whereas, Kalitta Charters’ pilots work and operate these missions with heavy hearts and somber demeanors; and
Whereas, Kalitta Charters’ patriotism, hard work, and dedication to things bigger than themselves have set them apart from other companies in Michigan; and
Whereas, We thank Kalitta Charters for its service to the United States Armed Forces and those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect this country; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body designate December 2021 as Kalitta Charters Appreciation Month; and be it further
Resolved, That we offer this expression of our tribute to honor Kalitta Charters; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution
be transmitted to Kalitta Charters as evidence of our
highest esteem.
Senator LaSata moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
Senator Wojno was named co-sponsor of the resolution.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Stamas’ statement is as follows:
Today I’d like to speak to Senate Resolution No. 99, a resolution to recognize Kalitta Air as a company that has made a true difference to our fallen soldiers. Kalitta Charters is a company based in Michigan, its operating center is based out of Willow Run airport in Ypsilanti where it maintains a facility, and Sue’s and my district in Oscoda. Today I am joined by my colleague Senator Irwin, and with Representative Peterson and Representative Allor.
As a veteran myself I’d like to commend Kalitta Charters for the honorable work they have done over the last 14 years for our country. Kalitta Charters has been transporting our fallen soldiers—our American heroes—since January 1, 2007. They have flown over 2,600 missions. They have had zero fails of all missions during this time. I would also like to commend the ingenuity and respect Kalitta Air and their personnel have done. They have designed the first system to load and unload American fallen heroes in a way that is dignified to them and the sacrifice that they have made to our country.
We wish to recognize Kalitta Air and thank them for their continued service, patriotism, hard work, and dignity they bring, and have brought, to these missions over the last 14 years.
