Whereas on July 23, 1947, AMVETS (American Veterans) was chartered by 
  the United States as a not-for-profit corporation;

Whereas membership in AMVETS is open to veterans who have honorably 
  served, or are serving, in the Armed Forces, including the Coast 
  Guard, National Guard, and Reserves, during or since World War II;

Whereas the veterans of the Armed Forces have made great sacrifices to 
  ensure the peace and security of the United States;

Whereas the members of AMVETS are dedicated to providing important 
  services to their local communities and to their fellow veterans;

Whereas the motto of AMVETS is ``We fought together, now let's build 
  together'';

Whereas the members of AMVETS consistently honor that motto through 
  countless hours of patriotic service, including providing services to 
  hospitalized veterans, assisting veterans with their problems 
  regarding housing and employment, marching in parades, participating 
  in color guards and burial details, and educating the Nation's youth;

Whereas the war on terrorism has emphasized the sacrifices that 
  veterans have made, and continue to make, for the benefit of the 
  Nation;

Whereas AMVETS has designated July 23 as AMVETS National Charter Day; 
  and

Whereas the goal of AMVETS National Charter Day is to raise public 
  awareness regarding AMVETS' commitment and service to veterans, the 
  families of veterans, and the Nation: Now, therefore, be it

    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress recognizes the members of AMVETS (American Veterans) for 
their service to the Nation and supports the goal of AMVETS National 
Charter Day.
