JOINT RESOLUTION HONORING THE MAINE NATIONAL GUARD AND ALL 
ACTIVE DUTY PERSONNEL FOR THEIR SERVICE TO THE STATE AND NATION 
WHEREAS, patriots from the District of Maine first mustered to form a militia to fight 
for the colonies in the Revolutionary War and for the nation during the War of 1812; and 
WHEREAS, the Maine National Guard has proudly served the citizens of the State 
during natural disasters such as forest fires, floods and storms and has bravely defended the 
United States of America during times of war since Maine first entered the Union in 1820, and 
over the years the highest percentages of volunteers have been Maine people; and 
WHEREAS, nearly 12,000 members of the Maine Army National Guard and the Maine 
Air National Guard have faithfully answered the call to duty in America's Global War on Terror; 
at times the State has had a larger percentage of personnel mobilized in support of that mission 
than any other state in the Union; and 
HOUSE ADVANCE JOURNAL AND CALENDAR - Tuesday, March 24, 2015
WHEREAS, members of the Maine Army National Guard and the Maine Air National 
Guard continue to defend freedom and democracy around the globe, including in Iraq and 
Afghanistan, where they are playing a vital role in protecting the safety and security of all 
Americans; and 
WHEREAS, the people of Maine have the utmost respect for the members of the Maine 
Army National Guard and the Maine Air National Guard for putting their lives in danger for the 
sake of the freedoms enjoyed by all Americans; and 
WHEREAS, the people of Maine are appreciative of the countless personal and 
professional sacrifices that the active volunteers of the Maine Army National Guard and the 
Maine Air National Guard and their families have made in order to protect our freedoms; and 
WHEREAS, since the tragic events of 9/11, countless Maine citizens have made 
sacrifices to serve and defend our country through the National Guard and to fight for our 
freedom, and 55 brave Maine citizens have answered the final call; now, therefore, be it 
RESOLVED: That We, the Members of the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh 
Legislature now assembled in the First Regular Session, on behalf of the people we represent, 
take this opportunity to express our solidarity with the men and women on active duty in the 
Maine Army National Guard and the Maine Air National Guard and their families; and be it 
further 
RESOLVED: That suitable copies of this resolution, duly authenticated by the Secretary
