 Expressing the sense of Congress concerning support to members of the 
 United States Armed Forces and allied military forces engaged in the 
                war on terrorism and the war with Iraq.

Whereas the valiant and dedicated members of the United States Armed Forces 
        consistently perform in an exceptionally professional manner befitting 
        an all-volunteer military force;
Whereas the members of Reserve and National Guard components of the Armed Forces 
        consistently demonstrate their readiness and ability to respond and 
        deploy quickly to become an integral part of the active components;
Whereas the families of the active and reserve forces provide exceptional and 
        unwavering support for deployed forces;
Whereas the valiant members of the military forces of the allies of the United 
        States share common goals and objectives with the United States in the 
        war on terrorism and the war with Iraq; and
Whereas all citizens of the United States and the allies of the United States 
        have demonstrated a show of unity in the aftermath of the terrorist 
        attacks of September 11, 2001, and against the threat to global security 
        and crimes against humanity posed by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) each member of the Armed Forces of the United States be 
        commended for serving with such distinction and 
        professionalism;
            (2) the family members of members of the Armed Forces of 
        the United States be commended for their special role in 
        providing support for the members of the Armed Forces;
            (3) each allied service member be commended for serving 
        with such distinction and professionalism; and
            (4) all citizens of the United States pay homage to the 
        members of the Armed Forces and their families and to allied 
        service members and their families.
                                 <all>
