                           November 19, 2001

   Mr. Terry (for himself and Mr. Smith of New Jersey) submitted the

                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Veterans Day 
 should be observed on November 11 and separate from any other Federal 
                                holiday.

Whereas the veterans of the Armed Forces are owed a tremendous debt of gratitude 
        for their service and bravery;
Whereas veterans play important roles in communities throughout the United 
        States;
Whereas maintaining Veterans Day as a legal public holiday separate from all 
        other Federal holidays is the least that a grateful Nation should do in 
        recognition of its veterans; and
Whereas November 11 remains an appropriate day on which to honor the veterans of 
        the Armed Forces: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
Veterans Day should be observed on November 11 and separate from any 
other Federal holiday.
