WHEREAS, It is the policy of the Washington State Legislature to recognize excellence in all fields of endeavor; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States of America, exhibited the highest level of excellence in service and sacrifice to his country; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln demonstrated unimpeachable moral character in all matters, large or small, public or personal, thereby earning himself the nickname "Honest Abe"; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln was a gentleman from humble beginnings, having been raised in a log cabin, who cleared land and split rails as a young man, and although he later attained great stature in public life, he never lost touch, empathy, or the values he shared with the common person; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln exemplified the greatest tenacity, perseverance, and acumen in scholastic and professional endeavors, illustrated by the fact that he educated himself in the profession of law and following an apprenticeship earned a well-deserved reputation as a skilled, talented, and respected member of the bar; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln continues to be known and admired for his eloquent and accomplished oratory of viewpoints, which were always rooted in the truest principles of liberty and justice, and which are perhaps best illustrated in his debate opposing slavery with Judge Stephen A. Douglas and by the delivery of what has become known as the Gettysburg Address, which honored the magnitude of the cost of liberty; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln believed the republican form of government established by the Founding Fathers was the best means of ensuring freedom from despotic government, and he became the father of the Republican Party dedicated to maintaining the truest principles of constitutional representation under the rule of law; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln unselfishly gave of himself throughout his long and distinguished commitment to public service to his fellow citizens, which included judicial service in the Eighth Circuit, as a member of the Illinois State Legislature, as a member of the United States Congress, and as the President of the United States of America; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln courageously issued the famous Emancipation Proclamation Act of 1862, adopted by Congress later that same year, which valued the citizenship and respected the freedom of all persons regardless of race or color; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln, while President of the United States, did valiantly and nobly issue yearly Proclamations of National Prayer Day, duly adopted by Congress, because he believed that the pursuits of Nations and Governments, as well as those of men, are dependent upon the solemn guidance and reverent will of God; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln, within one month of being inaugurated as President, faced the mighty challenge of a Civil War ... which tore at the fabric of the union, pitting brother against brother, family against family ... with a love of liberty and a firm assurance in the divine providence as his guide and support for the nation; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln steadfastly directed the campaign to victory in the Civil War, held malice toward none and a charity of spirit toward all, believed with conviction and firmness in the right and just, helped bind this great nation together and heal its wounds, and gave to us a just and lasting peace; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln suffered an untimely death, just five days after bringing the Civil War to an end in April 1865, at the hands of an assassin, tragically ending the life of a man who gave of himself to his country unselfishly, charitably, graciously, and patriotically for all causes that were just, noble, and honorable and that sought liberty and freedom for all; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln's own words are inscribed into the walls of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.: "That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth";
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the state of Washington honor the 16th President of these United States for his faith, character, ideals, and contributions, which continue to poignantly and presently inspire the best within the hearts of men and women everywhere, and which will continue to do so for generations to come.

HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 2003-4625, By Representatives Armstrong, Hankins and Skinner
WHEREAS, It is the policy of the Washington State Legislature to recognize excellence in all fields of endeavor; and
WHEREAS, George Washington, the first President of the United States of America, demonstrated the epitome of excellence in serving the country he loved so well; and
WHEREAS, George Washington was a son of one of the original American colonies, being raised in Westmoreland County, Virginia; and
WHEREAS, George Washington's extraordinary success in life was built upon the foundation of values imparted to him in his youth by his mother, Mary Ball Washington, who educated and tutored him at home until he successfully moved on to the venerable institution of William and Mary College, Williamsburg, Virginia, of which he later became first Chancellor; and
WHEREAS, George Washington earned and properly merits the highest honor, respect, devotion, and homage from his countrymen for his unwavering commitment, virtuous sacrifice, and wise, principled leadership in the proud and noble struggle for liberty for the American colonies; and
WHEREAS, George Washington's reverent and faithful guidance as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War gave confidence and spirit to the soldiers and countrymen who suffered uncommon hardships, and demonstrated that the dispensations and blessings of providence are always a constant companion of the honorable and noble patriot laboring for justice, freedom, and truth; and
WHEREAS, George Washington bravely met and overcame arduous challenges and perils in the heroic struggle of the American patriots, perhaps best symbolized by the cruel and unrelenting hardships the Continental Army experienced under his command during the winter of 1777 at Valley Forge, where overwhelming British forces and inconceivable weather and supply conditions were conquered with patience, bearing, fortitude, and unwavering faith; and
WHEREAS, George Washington, victorious in the Revolutionary War, tempered by piety, and inspired by the giving of thanks for the favors and blessings of providence, ushered in the independent and sovereign young republic; and
WHEREAS, George Washington, following victory for the American States, continued his distinguished service to his countrymen and was unanimously chosen to preside at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1787, wherein the esteemed charter of the greatest nation ever on this earth was eminently commissioned as the Constitution of the United States of America and later ratified by the people of the several states to form a union which would work to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, and secure the blessings of liberty for posterity; and
WHEREAS, George Washington, on April 30, 1789, placed his palm upon an open Bible and solemnly, humbly, and resolutely took the oath of office as the first President of the United States of America amid the thunderous ovation of the people, the pealing of church bells, and roaring artillery salutes and forthwith led the young republic to a prominent place among the nations of this earth; and
WHEREAS, This great state of Washington, established in 1889, bears and honors the name of George Washington and the vignette of his likeness prominently and nobly displayed on the state seal;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the state of Washington honor George Washington, the first President of these United States, and Father of this great nation, for his innumerable and indomitable accomplishments and contributions for the eternal cause of liberty and justice for all.
