Baca wants IE military honored

U.S. Rep. Joe Baca, D-San Bernardino, introduced a resolution in the House Tuesday to honor members of the military from the Inland Empire who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as their families.

The resolution also says the House supports high-quality medical care for wounded soldiers and encourages Americans to support returning troops. The resolution also commends Inland Empire residents and organizations who have volunteered to suppport wounded soldiers.

"As Americans, we must do all we can to recognize this profound service, and thank these courageous individuals," Baca said in a statement. "My resolution would bring Congressional recognition to the military men and women of the Inland Empire, while also encouraging everyone to show greater support and thanks for the sacrifices our military men and women make."
