A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE GUARD AND RESERVE
WHEREAS, the Fridley City Council recognized the National Guard
and the Reserve as essential to the strength of our Nation and the
maintenance of World peace, and
WHEREAS, they require and deserve the interest and support of
the American business community as every segment of our society, and
WHEREAS, in the highest American tradition, these Guard and
Reserve forces are manned by civilians, and
WHEREAS, their voluntary service takes them from their homes,
their families and their occupations, and
WHEREAS, on weekends and at other times, they train to prepare
themselves to answer their country's call to active service in the
United States Armed Forces, and
WHEREAS, if these volunteer forces are to continue to serve our
Nation, a broader public understanding is required of the total force
concept of the national security and the essential role of the Guard
and Reserve within it, and
WHEREAS, the Guard and Reserve needs the patriotic cooperation
of American employers facilitating the participation of their eligible
employees in Guard and Reserve programs without impediment or penalty.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City
of Fridley that the Council joins other members of the American
business community in agreement that; 1. Our employees job and career
opportunities will not be limited or reduced because of their service
in the Guard or Reserve, 2. Our employees will be granted leaves of
absence for Military training in the Guard or Reserve without sacri-
fice of vacation time, and 3. This resolution will be made known
throughout our City and announced in City publications and through
other existing means of communication.
