                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Veterans Day 
  should continue to be observed on November 11 and separate from any 
    other Federal holiday or day for Federal elections or national 
                              observances.

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 and days for elections or national observances is 
        the least that a grateful Nation should do in recognition of its 
        veterans; and
Whereas November 11 is a solemn commemoration of the contributions of those who 
        have served and defended the Nation, especially those who gave their 
        lives securing the freedoms enjoyed by all citizens of the United 
        States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
Veterans Day should continue to be observed on November 11 and separate 
from any other Federal holiday or day for Federal elections or national 
observances.
                                 <all>
