                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Honoring veterans by requesting that television and radio stations 
    provide a moment of silence or a public service announcement on 
                   November 11 at 11 a.m. each year.

Whereas millions of veterans have served our Nation with pride and distinction;
Whereas more than 700,000 brave American men and women have sacrificed their 
        lives while serving in the Nation's Armed Forces so that all of our 
        people may continue to live in a country that is based on the principles 
        of democracy and liberty;
Whereas there are more than 25,000,000 United States veterans in our Nation 
        today;
Whereas each year on November 11, our Nation pays tribute to its war dead and 
        veterans in a national observance; and
Whereas children throughout our Nation would benefit from increased recognition 
        of and familiarity with the contributions and accomplishments of the 
        millions of men and women who have served in our Armed Forces and shaped 
        the history of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the Nation dedicate November 11 to give special 
        recognition to the contributions to its veterans in defending 
        freedom and democracy;
            (2) the Nation should use that occasion to make a greater 
        effort to educate children on the contributions of veterans in 
        defending the freedoms our Nation enjoys; and
            (3) television and radio stations should recognize veterans 
        through a public service announcement or moment of silence on 
        November 11 at 11 a.m. each year.
