Assembly Concurrent Resolution

Whereas, on December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor; and

whereas, although the USS Nevada sustained heavy damage during the attack, it was able to destroy several Japanese aircraft; and

whereas, the men who died that infamous day demonstrated their extraordinary courage and heroism in defending their country; and

whereas, in sacrificing their lives for their country, those men exemplified the highest ideals of American Society; and

whereas, by recognizing their ultimate sacrifice, we honor those men who serve as a painful remembrance of the high price of freedom; now, therefore, be it

resolved by the assembly of the state of Nevada, the Senate concurring, that the Nevada legislature memorializes the courageous and heroic men of the USS Nevada who sacrificed their lives in defending their country at
Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

Presented December 7, 1991, in grateful appreciation by the citizens of the State of Nevada.
