 Expressing the sense of Congress that the House of Heroes project in 
 Columbus, Georgia, should serve as a model for public service support 
                       for the Nation's veterans.

Whereas the veterans of the United States have made immeasurable sacrifices for 
        the preservation of freedom for America;
Whereas the people of Columbus, Georgia, have demonstrated an appreciation for 
        the commitments made by veterans and their families, through the House 
        of Heroes project;
Whereas the House of Heroes project was created specifically to honor veterans 
        and their families by providing assistance with repair, maintenance, and 
        improvement of veterans' primary residences; and
Whereas the House of Heroes project is comprised of volunteers from the 
        Columbus, Georgia, area representing a broad cross section of the local 
        community, including military personnel, businesses, trade 
        organizations, Federal and local Governments, charitable funds, and 
        individual citizens who have joined together to support local veterans 
        who have played such an important role in the long-term preservation of 
        freedom in this country: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is 
the sense of the Congress that the House of Heroes project of Columbus, Georgia, 
should serve as a public service model for communities across the United States 
effectively to provide needed assistance and support for veterans who so bravely 
served their communities and their country.
