        Received and referred to the Committee on Armed Services

                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Recognizing and commending the excellent service of members of the 
     Armed Forces who are prosecuting the war to end terrorism and 
                 protecting the security of the Nation.

    Whereas among the first military units to make this transition to 
            wartime operations was the USS Enterprise Battle Group, 
            which, on September 11, 2001, while en route back to the 
            United States from a scheduled peacetime deployment, was 
            immediately redeployed to conduct operations against 
            terrorists;
    Whereas elements of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps 
            began deploying to the theater of war to secure bases and 
            support combat operations as early as September 19, 2001; 
            and
    Whereas since then, not only have the special operations and 
            conventional forces of all the services performed 
            magnificently, but the members of the Armed Forces have 
            repeatedly demonstrated an extraordinary level of 
            commitment and professionalism: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress recognizes and commends the excellent service of all 
in the Armed Forces who are prosecuting the war to end terrorism and 
protecting the security of the Nation.

            Passed the House of Representatives December 20, 2001.

            Attest:

                                                 JEFF TRANDAHL,

                                                                 Clerk.
