                               RESOLUTION


 
      Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that a 
  commemorative postage stamp should be issued each year in honor of 
                             Veterans Day.

Whereas, from the American Revolution's Minutemen to today's modern soldiers, 
        sailors, airmen, and marines, American men and women have dedicated 
        themselves to the preservation of liberty and democracy;
Whereas 42,000,000 service members served during times of war, and 25,000,000 
        veterans who served during World War I, World War II, the Korean 
        conflict, the Vietnam war era, and the Persian Gulf war stand as a 
        living testament to the strength of the American spirit;
Whereas our Nation owes an immeasurable debt of gratitude to the brave veterans 
        who put themselves in harm's way to defend the United States and its 
        values;
Whereas future generations of veterans and their families must know that 
        honorable military service is the highest form of national service; and
Whereas honoring our Nation's veterans with the annual issuance of a postage 
        stamp commemorating their service is a fitting tribute to those brave 
        men and women: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives 
that--
            (1) a commemorative postage stamp should be issued by the 
        United States Postal Service each year in honor of Veterans 
        Day; and
            (2) the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee should recommend 
        to the Postmaster General that such a stamp be so issued.
