Whereas, Members of the United States military have brought great honor to our nation and have given true meaning to the highest standard of patriotism and service; they have voluntarily forgone comfort and wealth, accepted the necessary sacrifices, and even given their lives so that we and others around the world may live in freedom; and,

Whereas, Since its inception, Military Moms has worked to support and provide encouragement to families of military personnel of all branches of service; and,

Whereas, Today the love and support of family and friends is crucial to the members of the military who continue their proud service in many roles and Military Moms is instrumental in sharing supportive messages and care packages with our deployed troops; and,

Whereas, Current events have given us a renewed appreciation for the members of the military and their families, and we thank those who are currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and around the world; and now therefore be it, 

Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan, do hereby proclaim November 12, 2007, as Military Moms Day in Michigan.
