STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Three
A RESOLUTION supporting the United States troops in Iraq.
Whereas, the United States has worked with the United Nations the 12 years following the Persian Gulf War in 1991 to peacefully disarm Saddam Hussein and the government of Iraq; and
Whereas, United Nations' Resolution 1441 was unanimously passed by the Security Council on November 8, 2002, finding Iraq in material breach of its obligations, and vowing serious consequences if they did not fully and immediately disarm; and
Whereas, the President of the United States, with the authorization of Congress, has ordered military action against the government of Iraq in an effort to address the threat Iraq poses to peace and stability of the country, the region, and the world; and
Whereas, hundreds of men and women who serve in the New Hampshire reserves and National Guard have been called to active duty; and
Whereas, these men and women have joined with other New Hampshire members of the United States armed forces and members of the multinational forces assembled against this threat; and
Whereas, the families of these men and women play an important role in providing support to them; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the senate of the state of New Hampshire supports the efforts and the leadership of the President as Commander-in-Chief in the current hostilities; and
That the senate of the state of New Hampshire supports the men and women of our armed forces who are carrying out their missions with professional excellence, dedicated patriotism, and exemplary bravery; and
That the senate of the state of New Hampshire commends the families of these men and women for their strength during this time of conflict.
