                          Concurrent Resolution

Whereas the Medal of Honor was established by Congress in 1862 and is 
  the highest military declaration bestowed by the Nation;

Whereas the criteria for receiving the Medal of Honor are 
  extraordinarily stringent, requiring that an individual, while a 
  member of the Armed Forces, have ``distinguish[ed] himself 
  conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life 
  above and beyond the call of duty'' while engaged in combat and that 
  there have been at least two eyewitnesses to the act;

Whereas fewer than 155 of the approximately 3,500 Americans who have 
  been awarded the Medal of Honor are alive, including two who are 
  natives of the City of Pueblo, Colorado;

Whereas the City of Pueblo, Colorado, will be the site for the 
  September 2000 reunion of living recipients of the Medal of Honor; 
  and

Whereas during that reunion, a Medal of Honor memorial, to be known as 
  ``Heroes Plaza'', will be dedicated: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Heroes Plaza in the City of Pueblo, Colorado, is recognized, 
effective as of the September 2000 reunion of living Medal of Honor 
recipients in that city, as honoring the recipients of the Medal of 
Honor and honoring their commitment to the United States and to serving 
in the Armed Forces with courage, valor, and patriotism.
