A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY EXPRES-
SING SUPPORT AND DEVOTION TO THE
MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THIS
COUNTRY FIGHTING IN VIET NAM.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE THAT:
WHEREAS, young men of the City of Temple City, California
are engaged in mortal combat in Viet Nam in support of the Foreign
Policy commitments of this Nation; and
WHEREAS, vociferous groups and individuals in our society
have, by illegal demonstrations and otherwise, sought, and are seeking,
to undermine this policy; and
WHEREAS, these actions have been given such vast publicity
in the press, on radio and television, that many people, including
those of hostile nations, have been erroneously led to believe that
the majority of our people are not willing to support our commitments
or uphold our national honor; and
WHEREAS, members of our armed forces, themselves convinced
of the rectitude of our Asian policy, have expressed concern and shock
over the apparent attitude of those for whom they are fighting, and
are desirous and deserving of a forthright statement of our support
for and interest in them.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that this Council as the duly
elected representatives of the people of Temple City, deplores the
fact that the publicity given to the opinions of such a small minority
of our people has tended to mislead the world into considering this
country as deeply divided; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Council hereby extends to
the members of the armed forces its fullest support and warmest devo-
tion to them as they perform their hard duty, thus assuring them that
the spirit of patriotism is not dead in this country and that they
are neither forgotten nor unappreciated by us; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be
sent to the President of the United States, to the United States
Senators from this State and to Congressmen from this district for
their information and edification, and to the several communications
media for widespread dissemination to the public at large, and that
further copies be sent to the legislative bodies of the cities of this
State with the expressed hope and request that they will see fit to
adopt similar resolutions.
