Arizona Governor Proclaims April 16th, 2011 Search and Rescue Day!

Thanks to Raul Limon of SAR 10, Cochise County Sheriff SAR for sending this.

In response to a request by the Arizona Sheriff's SAR Coordinators, and in

conjunction with the 2011 Arizona SAR Conference, Governor Brewer has

proclaimed April 16th, 2011 as Search and Rescue Day in honor of the Search

and Rescue personnel in the State of Arizona.

The proclamation reads:

____________________________________________________________________________

Whereas, Search and Rescue is a mandated function of the County Sheriff in

Arizona; and

Whereas, to fulfill that duty, Arizona Sheriffs rely on dedicated Search

and Rescue Volunteers and Search and Rescue Coordinators; and

Whereas, Search and Rescue is a noble endeavor of community service to the

State of Arizona which involves dedication, compassion, and personal

sacrifice; and

Whereas, April 15-17, 2011 is the Arizona Search and Rescue Conference where

Search and Rescue personnel will meet and train to be ready to respond to

fulfill the Search and Rescue motto, " So That Others May Live."

Now Therefore, I, Janice K. Brewer, Governor of the State of Arizona, do

hereby proclaim April 16, 2011 as

*Search and Rescue Day*

in honor of the Search and Rescue personnel in the State of Arizona.

/s/ Janice K. Brewer, Governor

/s/ Ken Bennett, Secretary of State

Way to go AZ SAR!
