BILL NO. 21-51 <br />RESOLUTION NO. ______ <br />A SPECIAL RESOLUTION BY SOUTH BEND COMMON COUNCIL SECOND <br />DISTRICT MEMBER HENRY DAVIS, JR., AND AT LARGE COUNCIL MEMBER <br />RACHEL TOMAS MORGAN COMMEMORATING VETERANS’ DAY 2021, <br />HONORING ALL VETERANS AND SUPPORTING THE MISSION OF “GET WET <br />FOR A VET, INC.” <br />Whereas, in November 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11, as <br />Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War I; and <br />Whereas, in 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower changed Armistice Day to Veterans <br />Day and expanded the commemoration to all veterans “in order that a grateful Nation might pay <br />appropriate homage to veterans of all its wars”; and <br />Whereas, President Eisenhower’s vision of Veterans Day remains as sacred today as it <br />was in 1954 to: “let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly, on <br />the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom, and let us <br />reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not <br />have been in vain”; and <br />Whereas, locally, “Get Wet for a Vet, Inc.” embodies the honor due veterans in its <br />mission statement: “We work with all of you to benefit the community by helping local Veterans <br />who have fought so vigorously for our freedom”; and <br />Whereas, since 2013 “GWAV” has donated tens of thousands of dollars to veteran- <br />oriented organizations such as: the Miller’s Homeless Veteran Center, the Department of <br />American Veterans, and CVMA “Vets helping Vets”, St. Joseph County Blue Star Moms, <br />Michiana “Stop 22”, Marine Riders, St. Joseph County Department of Veterans Affairs <br />Volunteer Fund, Combat Veterans 14-3 and Army Riders Chapter 118; and <br />Whereas, GWAV is currently involved in the planning and construction of a “tiny” <br />house village for local veterans. <br />Now, Therefore, be it publicly and proudly proclaimed as <br />follow: <br />Section I. The sacrifices made by American veterans should be remembered and honored each <br />and every day, but especially so on the day proclaimed by our Nation as Veterans Day. <br />Section II. At the same time, the sacrifices made by the families of veterans should also be <br />remembered and honored each and every day. <br />Section III. The contributions of organizations such as Get Wet for a Vet, Inc., which <br />supports veterans through both words and deeds, should be acknowledged and encouraged. <br />Signed and Approved this 8th day of November 2021 in the City <br />of South Bend, County of St. Joseph, in the State of Indiana. <br />Special Resolution 21-51
