Soldiers' Angels started a day to honor deployed heroes and their families on October 26, 2006 called Day of the Deployed. We asked Americans to reaffirm their patriotism and allegiance to our flag and country, and to honor our brave men and women in uniform who are selflessly putting their lives on the line to protect and preserve our way of life and to support the families left behind.

·         This honor was first signed as a proclamation by Governor John Hoeven of North Dakota. http://governor.nd.gov/proc/docs/2006/10/20061026.pdf

·         Hoeven proceeded to sign the proclamation again the second year along with Governor Pawlenty of Minnesota. http://governor.nd.gov/proc/docs/2007/10/20071026.pdf

·         The third year a dozen governors from around the United States signed the proclamation for their state. http://governor.nd.gov/proc/docs/2008/10/20081026.pdf

·         And in 2009 nearly forty governors from across America signed the proclamation standing behind the troops from their state. http://governor.nd.gov/proc/docs/2009/10/20091026.pdf

 

 

On October 26, 2010 the volunteers at Soldiers' Angels vow to have every governor from every state across the nation, sign their very own state proclamation.
