Whereas June 12 is designated as ‘‘Pulse Remembrance Day’’ in the State of Florida to honor the victims and survivors of the senseless attack;
Whereas the people of the United States continue to pray for those affected by the tragedy; and Whereas June 12, 2019, marks 3 years since the lives of the 49 innocent victims were tragically cut short by the senseless act of terrorism: Now, therefore, be it
