13 state in times of war;
14 Whereas, These veterans served their state and country
15 with honor, and many made the ultimate sacrifice in service of
16 their country;
17 Whereas, Because America has relied upon her veterans in
18 times of war to protect our way of life, it seems only just and

21 and named portions of a state or federal highway as a
22 memorial to those who served our nation in times of war:
