            Senator Cherry offered the following resolution:

            Senate Resolution No. 130.

            A resolution commemorating March 26, 2010, as Support Our Troops Day.

            Whereas, Our troops who are courageously serving our country deserve to have a day where they are honored and recognized for their unselfish service; and

            Whereas, The Interact Club of Waterford Kettering High School is to be commended for seeking out this day to pay special tribute to our soldiers stationed all around the world; and

            Whereas, We need to have a day that shows the unwavering support of the present-day soldiers and recognize all that they do for us; 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; and

            Whereas, We are reminded that our freedoms come at a high cost to all those serving and sacrificing on a daily basis to ensure the safety of American citizens; and

            Whereas, We would like to honor our troops at six o'clock Eastern Standard Time on that day by taking a moment of silence to focus our thoughts and prayers on our numerous troops; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the Senate, That we hereby proclaim March 26, 2010, as Support Our Troops Day in Michigan and urge the appropriate observance; and be it further

            Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Interact Club of Waterford Kettering High School with our highest esteem.
