Proc - Month of the Military Child 2022
PROCLAMATION
Month of the Military Child
WHEREAS, the City of North Augusta wishes to pay tribute to the resilience and courage of our military children; over two million active
duty, National Guard, Reserve, and children of veterans who did not make the choice to serve, but live each day supporting their brave parents; and
WHEREAS, from a young age, children
of service members sometimes endure long separations from their parents and shoulder the burdens of service. They spend holidays and milestones apart from those they love the most,
or celebrate with only a short phone call or virtual chat from a faraway parent; and
WHEREAS, the physical, social and emotional well-being of children in military families is essential
to their success and has a direct impact on the strength of military families serving our country; and
WHEREAS, by ensuring military children are safe and supported in our schools and
communities, our men and women in uniform can focus on the challenges and missions they face in the line of duty; and
WHEREAS, observing the Month of the Military Child demonstrates
our support for military children who make daily sacrifices so their parents can keep our Nation safe.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Briton S. Williams, Mayor of the great city of North Augusta,
do hereby
proclaim April 2022 as the
Month of the Military Child
to encourage all citizens of North Augusta to take time to honor our military youth and the family members who care
for them.
