0967 Duncan 0967. Councilors Flynn and Murphy offer the following resolution recognizing National Purple Heart Day 2022. Thank you, Mr. Clarke. The Chair recognizes Council President Flynn. Council President Flynn, the floor is yours. Thank you. Thank you, Councilor Arroyo. And thank you, Councilor Murphy, as chair of Veterans Services as well. August 7th just passed to his national Purple Heart Day. And that day is a national day that we honor. We remember we recognize the service and sacrifice of a Purple Heart recipient. And that is a person that was wounded. In service to our country or it's a person that was killed in service to our country that that person shed blood shed blood for our country. So it's a it's an important day for us to remember, to think about those disabled veterans that were wounded, those veterans that were killed in action also. And to remember their family and to remember their sacrifice and their heartache and their pain. Losing a loved one, losing a son, losing losing a daughter. That veterans coming home that might be a Purple Heart recipient might be still suffering from. Various wounds that he or she received in combat. And it might be having a terrible impact on that person's family, their spouse or their parents. They might be engaged in the VA medical system, in mental health counseling for the rest of their life. So it's important for us to remember the incredible sacrifice and service of our Purple Heart recipients on this day and honored to partner with Counselor Murphy. But I also would like to suspend and pass this resolution today so that we can recognize those that are recipients of the Purple Heart in their family. Thank you, Counselor. Thank you, Mr. President. Flynn. Counselor Murphy. The floor is yours. Thank you, Counselor Arroyo. And thank you, President Flynn. And as the chair of Veteran Military Families and Military Affairs, I fully support this resolution in declaring August 7th as a national Purple Heart Day. President Flynn already quite nicely summed up the importance of this resolution. But still to know this day offers Americans a special opportunity to say thank you to the nearly 2 million brave men and women who fought for our nation's freedom and bear the physical scars of war. It is the ultimate sacrifice for our country. And I applaud such recipients of the Purple Heart Award and just want to say thank you that we suspend and pass. I hope our colleagues join us in that.
