                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
               Declaring April 10 as ``Son-in-Law Day''.

Whereas the people of the United States should celebrate the contributions of 
        sons-in-law to the stability of the American family;
Whereas a national day of celebration would give sons-in-law the recognition 
        they deserve for their positive contributions to the community;
Whereas a day should be set aside to focus on the positive qualities of sons-in-
        law;
Whereas the people of the United States should recognize that there are, and 
        always have been, African-American men who have been good fathers, 
        husbands, and sons-in-law;
Whereas African-American men, including sons-in-law, should be proud of their 
        contributions and strive to inspire their sons to carry on this 
        heritage;
Whereas sons-in-law are providers, protectors, and friends of their children, 
        their spouses, parents, and in-laws;
Whereas sons-in-law are the real role models, teachers, and inspirations to the 
        young men who look up to them;
Whereas mothers and fathers would have a day to thank their daughters' husbands 
        for their labor, loyalty, and love;
Whereas all men who are responsible and loyal to their spouses and their 
        families should be especially rewarded by their in-laws with a day of 
        recognition; and
Whereas the family is the future of this great country and sons-in-law are vital 
        links in holding our families together: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That April 10 is designated as 
``National Son-in-Law Day''.
