							The 
							Silver Star Families of America 
							has one mission:  To remember, honor and assist the 
							wounded, ill and dying of our Armed Forces from all 
							wars. To remember them, we sponsor Silver Star Service 
							Banner Day every May 1st.  A day (just one day) set 
							aside to remember those who have given so much for 
							us and this nation. In 2009, 49 states, 2,474 cities and counties, 
							Guam, Saipan, the Chickasaw Nation and the U.S. 
							Virgin Islands issued proclamations in support of 
							Silver Star Service Banner Day.  1,912 cities and 
							counties have made the day permanent.  The State of 
							Missouri has made it a law. 
			 Now, 
							the United States Senate has proposed making May 1st 
							Silver Star Service Banner Day nation wide.  We urge 
							all of you to contact your Senators and ask them to 
							co sponsor and support 
			S. Res 320, which has been 
							referred to the Senate Armed Services Committee. The United States House of Representatives has 
							also joined in by introducing 
							H.Res. 855.  You can 
							help further by contacting your Congressmen and 
							urging them to support this legislation which is now 
							in the House Committee on Government reform. My friends, this is not a partisan request.  
							Regardless of political affiliation and being 
							liberal or conservative . . . we should all agree 
							that our wounded, ill, and dying deserve being 
							remembered. We are pleased that David Bancroft and USA 
							Patriotism have joined with us in supporting this 
							legislation.  We would expect nothing else from such 
							a patriotic man and organization. Please join with us . . . stand up in the full 
							power of your sovereign capacity and make your 
							voices heard.  This will cost you nothing but will 
							mean so much to those who have given so much. Please don't forget them.  They never forgot you. |
