Whereas, Since its inception, Military Moms has worked to support and provide encouragement to families of military personnel of all branches of service; and,

Whereas, The love and support of family and friends is crucial to the members of the military who continue their proud service in many roles, and Military Moms is instrumental in sharing supportive messages and care packages with our deployed troops; and,

Whereas, Current events have given us a renewed appreciation for the members of the military and their families, and we thank those who are currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and around the world;

Now, Therefore, be it Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, governor of the state of Michigan, do hereby proclaim November 11, 2009, Military Moms Day in Michigan. May all citizens recognize the many contributions Military Moms make for the families of our armed service personnel.
