Be it resolved that the Hamburg Borough Council of the State of Pennsylvania, by unanimous consent, wishes to recognize Naval Lt. Marcia S. Sonon for her involvement with the forced downing of a military surveillance aircraft by forces hostile to the United States of America. Her devotion to God and service to country represent exemplary conduct under extremely adverse circumstances. The type of conduct by her and her associated crew members serve as a long to be remembered example to those who follow in their footsteps. A willingness to serve your country and to put your own well being aside for its interests must never be forgotten by the people of this land. As Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "Freedom is not Free"
