Senators Bieda, Kowall and Gleason offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 117.
A resolution commemorating the end of the war in Iraq.
Whereas, The last American combat troops have left Iraq, thus signaling the conclusion to nine years of war. This conflict has been costly for all Americans. Some paid more than others. Out of the 4,484 Americans that lost their lives overseas, 182 were from the great state of Michigan. Today we honor all, but specifically Michigan’s sons and daughters who paid the ultimate price. These brave men and women died in defense of global freedom. These heroes of Michigan, who they are, what they stood for, and the sacrifice they made will not be forgotten. Michigan has suffered a great loss in their passing, a loss that cannot even begin to be fully understood. Today we thank the following Michiganders for their heroic sacrifice:
