House Resolution No. 127.

A resolution to express appreciation for the work and sacrifices of first responders in Michigan, to commemorate the lives of Michigan residents lost in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and to honor our nation for its strength and resolve in the face of an enemy.

            Whereas, First responders are the men and women who willingly put themselves in harm's way and risk their lives to preserve the safety and well-being of those around them no matter the circumstances; and

            Whereas, We memorialize those lives, lived in Michigan, ended abruptly by terrorist violence on September 11, 2001, and remembered forever by friends and family in Michigan and across our nation and the world; and

            Whereas, America was attacked by an enemy bearing hatred toward our freedoms, our rights, and our way of life but as a nation we responded with strength, dignity, unity and resolve; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body express appreciation for the work and sacrifices of first responders in Michigan, commemorate the lives of Michigan residents lost in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and honor our nation for its strength and resolve in the face of an enemy.
