Jindal proclaims 'Saints Week' for Louisiana
posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
Today, Governor Bobby Jindal proclaimed the week of Feb. 8, 2010 as "Saints Week" to commemorate the first Super Bowl win ever for the New Orleans Saints.

Proclamation on Saints Week:

WHEREAS, the New Orleans Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 to win their first ever Super Bowl in 43 years; and

WHEREAS, Tracy Porter's game-clinching interception and Thomas Morstead's game-changing onside kick will forever be ingrained in the memories of the Who Dat Nation; and

WHEREAS, the gutsy calls of Sean Payton and the skilled arm of Drew Brees has led the Saints through an unforgettable season; and

WHEREAS, the Saints played for more than just themselves, they played for a city and a state that has looked to the team for hope through difficult times; and

WHEREAS, the Saints have committed themselves to excellence on and off the field; and

WHEREAS, the Saints were always resilient much like the people of Louisiana persevered through four storms in three years; and

WHEREAS, the support of the Who Dat Nation has never waivered in good times or bad.

NOW THEREFORE, I proclaim this week, the week of February 8, 2010 as "Saints Week" in the State of Louisiana to commemorate the first Super Bowl win ever for the New Orleans Saints.
