  Honoring the Tuskegee Airmen and their contribution in creating an 
integrated United States Air Force, the world's foremost Air and Space 
                            Supremacy Force.

Whereas the United States is currently combating terrorism around the world and 
        is highly dependent on the global reach and presence provided by the Air 
        Force;
Whereas these operations require the highest skill and devotion to duty from all 
        personnel involved;
Whereas the Tuskegee Airmen proved that such skill and devotion, and not skin 
        color, are the determining factors in aviation;
Whereas the Tuskegee Airmen served honorably in the Second World War struggle 
        against global fascism; and
Whereas the example of the Tuskegee Airmen has encouraged millions of Americans 
        of every race to pursue careers in air and space technology: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that the United States Air Force 
should continue to honor and learn from the example provided by the 
Tuskegee Airmen as it faces the challenges of the 21st century and the 
war on terror.
