RESOLUTION

Designating July 27, 2019, as “National Day of the American Cowboy”.

    Whereas pioneering men and women, recognized as “cowboys”, helped to establish the American West;

    Whereas the cowboy embodies honesty, integrity, courage, compassion, respect, a strong work ethic, and patriotism;

    Whereas the cowboy spirit exemplifies strength of character, sound family values, and good common sense;

    Whereas cowboy traditions have been a part of American culture for generations;

    Whereas the cowboy continues to be an important part of the economy through the work of many thousands of ranchers across the United States who contribute to the economic well-being of every State;

    Whereas millions of fans watch professional and working ranch rodeo events annually, making rodeo one of the most-watched sports in the United States;

    Whereas membership and participation in rodeo and other organizations that promote and encompass the livelihood of cowboys span every generation and transcend race and gender;

    Whereas the cowboy is a central figure in literature, film, and music and occupies a central place in the public imagination;

    Whereas the cowboy is an American icon; and

    Whereas the ongoing contributions made by cowboys and cowgirls to their communities should be recognized and encouraged: Now, therefore, be it
