<br />WHEREAS, after six weeks of war in the Persian Gulf, a cease -fire is in effect
<br />and our troops are starting to come home; and
<br />WHEREAS, under the leadership of Operation Desert Storm commander General H.
<br />Norman Schwarzkopf, Iraq's best forces were defeated and devastated; and
<br />WHEREAS, as President Bush stated "this is a victory for the United Nations, for
<br />all mankind, for the rule of law and for what is right ";and
<br />WHEREAS, as General Schwarzkopf stated "It was a great coalition of people, all
<br />of whom did a fine job "; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Common Council believes that those people include the many
<br />thousands of South Bend residents who showed their support in a myriad of ways, from
<br />outright patriotism of flying "Old Glory" day and night, to the many, many silent
<br />prayers for peace; and
<br />WHEREAS, support of our troops challenged individuals to sell T- shirts,
<br />sweatshirts, yellow ribbons and stars and stripes; it challenged us to write and
<br />sing songs; to march; to pray; to share quiet moments together with friends and
<br />family - all for the greater good of mankind and a lasting peace.

<br />freedom, and asks all citizens to rededicate their lives to "thirst for peace" in
<br />our lifetime, and in that of our grandchildren.

<br />its adoption by the Common Council and approval by the Mayor.
