                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the Congress that a postage stamp should be 
issued to honor the 100th anniversary of the Jewish War Veterans of the 
                       United States of America.

Whereas the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America, an organization 
        of patriotic Americans dedicated to highlighting the role of Jews in the 
        United States Armed Forces, will celebrate 100 years of patriotic 
        service to the Nation on March 15, 1996;
Whereas thousands of Jews have proudly served the Nation in times of war;
Whereas thousands of Jews have died in combat while serving in the United States 
        Armed Forces;
Whereas, in World War II alone, Jews received more than 52,000 awards for 
        outstanding service in the United States Armed Forces, including the 
        Medal of Honor, the Air Medal, the Silver Star, and the Purple Heart;
Whereas, in World War II alone, over 11,000 Jews died in combat while serving in 
        the United States Armed Forces;
Whereas members of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America have 
        volunteered over 10,000,000 hours at veterans' hospitals; and
Whereas honoring the sacrifices of Jewish veterans is an important component of 
        recognizing the strong and patriotic role Jews have played in the United 
        States Armed Forces: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) a postage stamp should be issued to honor the 100th 
        anniversary of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of 
        America; and
            (2) the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee of the United 
        States Postal Service should recommend to the Postmaster 
        General that such a postage stamp be issued.
