Citation presented by the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
The Citation reads as follows:
Whereas, The history of this nation is credited to those selfless individuals who gave their lives in the name of freedom and democracy, principles which have preserved, protected and sustained this great country; and
Whereas, With great respect and humility, the Gettysburg Civil War Round Table is being honored for its generous donation to the Pennsylvania Gettysburg Monuments Project and the Monument Challenge Race; and
Whereas, The monuments at the Gettysburg National Military Park stand as lasting memorials of the Battle of Gettysburg and its place in history as a turning point in the Civil War and as tributes to the soldiers who served in that momentous conflict. With the creation of organizations such as the Pennsylvania Gettysburg Monuments Project and the help of groups such as the Gettysburg Civil War Round Table, those who were involved in America's struggle to survive as a nation during the Civil War will long be remembered and appreciated.
Now therefore, the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania congratulates the Gettysburg Civil War Round Table upon its generous support of the Pennsylvania Gettysburg Monuments Project and the Monument Challenge Race; expresses heartfelt appreciation for its outstanding contribution to the perpetuation of the memory of those noble Americans who answered their nation's call and especially of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of their country;
And directs that a copy of the citation, sponsored by the Honorable Harry A. Readshaw on June 9, 2000, be transmitted to the Gettysburg Civil War Round Table.
Signed: Harry A. Readshaw, Sponsor
