Senators Cherry, Olshove, Emerson, Johnson, Cassis, Bishop and Jacobs offered the following resolution:

            Senate Resolution No. 104.

            A resolution commemorating March 26, 2006, as Support Our Troops Day.

            Whereas, Our troops who are currently serving our country deserve to have a day where they can be honored and recognized for the service they continue to provide us; and

            Whereas, Alexandra Lynn McGregor, a sophomore at Waterford Kettering High School, is to be commended for seeking out this day to pay tribute to our soldiers around the world; and

            Whereas, We need to have a day that shows the support of the present-day soldier; and

            Whereas, It is important for the men and women of this country who serve to know that we respect them and thank them for their tireless, and sometimes thankless, service to all of us; and

Whereas, We would like to honor our troops at six o’clock Eastern Standard Time on the evening of March 26, 2006, by taking a moment of silence for our thoughts and prayers; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the Senate, That we hereby proclaim March 26, 2006, as Support Our Troops Day in Michigan and urge the appropriate observance thereof; and be it further

            Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Alexandra Lynn McGregor as a token of our esteem and support for her efforts.
