RESOLUTION NO. 2006-344
RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN. BERNARDINO DESIGNATING SEPTEMBER 11 AS A DAY OF SERVICE,
CHARITY AND COMPASSION
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, across the Nation and around the world, people of all ages and walks of
life collectively witnessed an event of immense tragedy on September II, 2001; and
WHEREAS, the events of that day instantly transformed many lives, some through
personal loss, and many others through an unfamiliar sense of individual and national
vulnerability; and
WHEREAS, an unprecedented, historic bonding of Americans arose from the collective
shock, unifying the Nation in a sustained outpouring of national spirit, pride, selflessness,
generosity, courage and voluntary service; and
WHEREAS, on that day and the immediate days that followed, many brave people
heroically, tirelessly and courageously participated in an extraordinarily difficult and dangerous
rescue and recovery effort, in many cases voluntarily putting their own well-being at risk, some
dying in the process; and
WHEREAS, September II will never and should never be just another day in the hearts
and mind of all Americans; and
WHEREAS, the creation of memorials and monuments honoring the lives lost on
September II, as well as the efforts of those who participated in rescue, recovery and voluntary
service efforts, are necessary, proper and fitting, but alone cannot fully capture the Nation's
desire to pay tribute in a meaningful way; and

RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN
BERNARDINO DESIGNATING SEPTEMBER 11 AS A DAY OF SERVICE, CHARITY
AND COMPASSION
WHEREAS, many citizens wish to memorialize September 11 by engaging in personal and
individual acts of community service or other giving activities as part of a national day of
recognition and tribute; and
WHEREAS, it is fitting and essential to establish a lasting, meaningful and positive
legacy of tribute and service for future generations to come; and
WHEREAS, to lose this opportunity to bring people together for such an important
endeavor would be a tragedy unto itself;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, PATRICK J. MORRIS, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF SAN
BERNARDINO AND THE MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL hereby designate
September 11 as an annually recognized day of voluntary service, charity and compassion; and
urge the citizens of San Bernardino to hereafter voluntarily observe this day with appropriate
and personal expressions of service, charity and compassion toward others.
