                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Senate that America's World War II veterans 
     and their families are deserving of this Nation's respect and 
 appreciation on the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the war in the 
                                Pacific.
Whereas on August 14, 1945, the Japanese Government accepted the Allied terms of 
        surrender;
Whereas the formal documents of surrender were signed on September 2, 1945, 
        thereby ending World War II;
Whereas fifty years have now passed since those events; and
Whereas the courage and sacrifice of the American fighting men and women who 
        served with distinction in the Pacific and Asian theaters should always 
        be remembered: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the United States Senate joins with a grateful 
Nation in expressing our respect and appreciation to the men and women 
who served in World War II, and their families. Further, we remember 
and pay tribute to those Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice and 
gave their life for their country.
