A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
EXPRESSING SUPPORT AND DEVOTION TO THE MEMBERS OF THE
ARMED FORCES OF THIS COUNTRY FIGHTING IN VIET NAM.
RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Azusa, California,
that
WHEREAS, young men of the City of Azusa, California, are engaged
in mortal combat in Viet Nam in support of the Foreign Policy commitments of
this Nation;
WHEREAS, vociferous groups and individuals in our society have,
by illegal demonstrations and otherwise, sought, and are seeking, to under-
mine this policy;
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 erroneously 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 convinced of
the rectitude of our Asian policy, have expressed concern and shock over
the apparent attitude of those for whom they are fighting, are are desirous
and deserving of a forthright statement of our support for and interest in
them.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that this Council, as the duly elected
representatives of the people of Azusa, deplores 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 armed forces, its fullest support 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; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be sent
to the President of the United States, to the United States Senators from
this State and to Congressmen from this district.
Adopted and approved this 15th day of November, 1965.
