New Hampshire House of Representatives
House Resolution #9
Honoring the victims and heroes of the Boston Marathon Tragedy
WHEREAS, the New Hampshire House of Representatives shares the sorrow of the tragedy at this year’s Boston Marathon with its victims, their families and friends; and
WHEREAS, Jeff Bauman, who lost both his legs in the bombings, helped to identify the suspects, which led to their capture and prevented further acts of violence; and
WHEREAS, first responders and law enforcement personnel acted without regard for their own personal safety to care for and save as many victims as possible and ensured the safety of all by bringing the suspects to justice; and
WHEREAS, recent remarks have taken the focus away from honoring the victims and celebrating the heroes of this tragedy; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the New Hampshire House of Representatives, in Regular Session
convened:
That the House does hereby disavow any unfounded speculation or accusation that dishonors those affected by the tragic events in Boston; and
That the New Hampshire House of Representatives does hereby commend Jeff Bauman as a hero for his actions and wishes him a quick recovery; and
That the New Hampshire House of Representatives does hereby honor all the victims and celebrate all the heroes of the senseless tragedy at this year’s Boston Marathon.
