Committee on Rules.]
Requesting the Board of Public Works to establish a procedure to
provide, free of charge, a State flag to men and women
citizens of this State serving overseas in the armed forces of
this nation who request one.
Whereas, Young men and women from this State have brought honor
and pride to the citizens of this State by their bravery,
outstanding service and sacrifice as they have served, fought and
battled to keep America free and to support democratic governments
around the world; and
Whereas, The words Montani Semper Liberi are ingrained in the
hearts and minds of the fighting men and women who serve this
country-- from Chester to Peterstown, -- from Harpers Ferry to
Williamson,-- from Marion County to Mingo County and from all
points in between; and
Whereas, The words "Montani Semper Liberi" are emblazoned on
the State's flag; and
Whereas, For West Virginians, no other words and only the Stars
and Stripes are as inspiring and unifying as our State flag and our
State motto; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby requests the Board of Public Works
to establish a procedure to provide, free of charge, a State flag
to men and women citizens of this state serving overseas in the
armed forces of this nation who request one;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House is hereby
directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the members of the
Board of Public Works.
