                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Commending the Americans who served the United States during the period 
                         known as the Cold War.

Whereas the most dangerous military competition in the history of mankind has 
        come to a close without a nuclear holocaust;
Whereas men and women in the armed forces, intelligence community, and foreign 
        service community of the United States faithfully performed their duties 
        during the period known as the Cold War;
Whereas many of these persons were isolated from family and friends and served 
        under arduous conditions in far away lands in order to preserve peace 
        and harmony throughout the world;
Whereas these persons performed their duty in the most successful, extended, 
        military competition in the history of mankind and ensured that weapons 
        of mass destruction, capable of destroying all humanity, were never 
        released;
Whereas the self-discipline and dedication of these persons were fundamental to 
        the prevention of a Super Power conflict; and
Whereas the silent determination of these persons brought a peaceful victory to 
        all the people of the world: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress acknowledges the service and sacrifices of these 
Americans who contributed to historic victory in the Cold War.
