38A:2-7  Findings, declarations relative to a permanent tribute to residents serving in the armed forces.

1.The Legislature finds and declares that:

a.There are many men and women of this State who bravely serve this Nation and State in the United States Armed Forces, the reserve components and the New Jersey National Guard; and

b.These brave men and women are true patriots who gallantly protect America from potential enemies to ensure our freedom and our way of life; and

c.Although there are memorials to those who have given their lives in the service of our country, there does not exist a proper tribute to those on active service in the United States Armed Forces, the reserve components and the New Jersey National Guard; and

d.It is fitting and proper that this State honor those actively serving by providing a tribute to them.
