1. Discussion with possible action on informing the community about National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 2, 2024, where the City of Laredo would like to invite everyone to come together on Thursday, May 2, 2024 for the National Day of Prayer as we remember our past, give thanks for our present and pray for our future. Established in 1952, by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, the National Day of Prayer is an annual event that was signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. The observance of the National Day of Prayer is founded on the constitutional rights of freedom of speech and freedom of religion and can be celebrated by all Americans. On this day, let us remember in our thoughts and prayers all those affected and impacted by illness, poverty, and general suffering. Let us pray for Healthcare providers, Educators, police officers, fire fighters, and other first responders who put themselves in harm's way to protect their fellow Americans. Let us also pray for the safety of our brave men and women in uniform and their families who serve and sacrifice for our country. Let us come together to pray for peace and goodwill and over the world and in the days ahead as we work to meet and overcome the great challenges of our time.
