WHEREAS, Our Community Salutes serves enlistees by providing recognition and resources that assist in their successful transition into military service, ensuring they are celebrated and supported by their communities; and

WHEREAS, Our Community Salutes also serves parents, guardians, and families by offering information, connection, and encouragement as they support their sons and daughters during this important life transition; and

WHEREAS, through Enlistee Recognition Ceremonies held each spring in communities across the nation, Our Community Salutes brings together families, educators, civic leaders, veterans, and citizens to publicly honor the selfless decision of these young adults and to establish strong networks of support for our nation's newest service members; and

WHEREAS, the impact of these ceremonies extends beyond a single day of recognition by fostering pride, unity, patriotism, and a lasting commitment to support those who answer the call to serve.
