A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
SUPPORTING "THE FREEDOM TREE" DEDICATED TO SPEC.4 DAVID
MUNOZ AND ALL PRISONERS OF WAR AND MISSING IN ACTION,
WITH THE VISION OF UNIVERSAL FREEDOM FOR ALL MANKIND.
WHEREAS, the long and dreadful ordeal of the Vietnam War has come to an
end in the signing of a cease fire agreement; and
WHEREAS, the returning Prisoners of War have withstood the rigors of
confinement, displaying courage and fortitude; and
WHEREAS, the American servicemen in Vietnam have played an outstanding
role in the struggle for freedom throughout the world and borne the yoke of
individual sacrifice; and
WHEREAS, the Hanoi government's list of prisoners has only accounted for
30 percent of all Prisoners of War and Missing in Action; and
WHEREAS, a fitting reminder of our freedom is a tree, which struggles to
grow as does our freedom. If a tree does not struggle, it will die. So, too,
will freedom.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Cypress
honors the returning Prisoners of War and does hereby memorialize a living tribute
in the Cypress Civic Center to commemorate Spec.4 David Munoz and all Prisoners
of War and Missing in Action.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that April 7, 1973 be known as SUPPORT OUR POW/MIA's
DAY in the City of Cypress.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a regular
meeting held on the 26th day of March, 1973.
