March 26, 2003
Supporting Our Troops and Their Families in Virginia
Whereas, tens of thousands of military families live in the Commonwealth of Virginia, with many children of military families enrolled in Virginia public schools, and
Whereas, many fathers and mothers in these Virginia military families are now serving in Ira and the Persian Gulf, where they face danger and hardships as they perform the duties they have been asked to undertake,
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that:
- (1) The Virginia Board of Education expresses our strong support and deep gratitude both to the men and women of our armed forces for their courage, service and sacrifice and to the many Virginia-based loved ones of our military, including especially the children of military parents enrolled in Virginia public schools, for their courage, service and sacrifice during this time, and
- (2) This resolution shall be communicated to each local school division in Virginia with the request that similar support be expressed to all children of military families in our public schools, and this resolution shall also be communicated to all appropriate military family-support agencies representing Virginia-based military families.
Adopted unanimously this 26th Day of March 2003.
Mark C. Christie, President
Board of Education
