Let us remember today the thousands of Alaskan children who need our love and support and care, and keep them in our hearts and minds. Let us be kind to each other. Let us work together to solve the state's problems. Let us finish this session with friendship. I offer this prayer. Amen. 2015-04-10 House Journal Page 0820 The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Vazquez.
