dedicated and selfless firefighters in Milton provide vital and lifesaving
services to the citizens of their community; and
at a moment's notice, these men and women risk their lives subduing fires
and rescuing those trapped in infernos, as well as saving citizens from
emergencies that could have been deadly situations; and
Georgia firefighters contribute significantly to the continued well-being of
Georgians . through their outstanding commitment to community service.
Their sense of duty and responsibility is evidenced by their hundreds of
volunteer hours in annual boot drives to collect funds to fight Muscular
Dystrophy; and
firefighters in the City of Milton unselfishly donate their time and energy
to supporting the Muscular Dystrophy Association, raising more than
$488 ,000 over our nine year partnership; and
many of Milton's most deserving citizens have benefited from the funds
raised by firefighters in the "Fill-the-Boot" Campaign, and these public
servants make invaluable contributions to our community in all the tasks
they perform.
NOW, THEREFORE, we , the Mayor and City Council of the City of Milton, hereby proclaim
April through September, as "MDA Firefighter Appreciation" time in the City of Milton and
encourage all citizens of Milton, Georgia to recognize and support the efforts of these firefighters
on behalf ofMDA.
