RESOLUTION EXPRESSING SUPPORT AND DEVOTION
TO MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THIS COUNTRY FIGHTING
IN VIET NAM
WHEREAS, young men of the City of National City,
California are engaged in mortal combat in Viet Nam in support
of the Foreign Policy commitments of this Nation, and
WHEREAS, vociferous groups and individuals in our
society have, by illegal demonstrations and otherwise, sought,
and are seeking, to undeuine this policy, and
WHEREAS, these actions have been given such vast
publicity in the press, on radio and television, that many
people, including those of hostile nations, have been erron-
eously led to believe that the majority of our people are not
willing to support our commitments or uphold our national honor,
and
WHEREAS, members of our armed forces, themselves con-
vinced of the rectitude of our Asian policy, have expressed
concern and shock over the apparent attitude of those for whom
they are fighting, and are desirous and deserving of a forth-
right statement of our support for an interest in them;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of the City of National City, that this Council, as the duly
elected representatives of the people of National City, de-
plores the fact that the publicity given to the opinions of
such a small minority of our people has tended to mislead the
world into considering this country as deeply divided.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Council hereby
extends to the members of the armedforces its fullest sup-
port and warmest devotion to them as they perform their hard
duty, thus assuring them that the spirit of patriotism is not
dead in this country and that they are neither forgotten nor
unappreciated by us.
PASSED AND ADOYIED this 22nd day of March, 1966.
