To commend members of the United States Armed Forces for their services 
to the United States in the liberation of Iraq, and for other purposes.

Whereas the valiant and dedicated members of the United States Armed Forces 
        performed in an exceptionally professional manner, befitting of an all-
        volunteer military force, during Operation Iraqi Freedom;
Whereas the National Guard and the other reserve components of the United States 
        Armed Forces demonstrated their readiness and ability to respond and 
        deploy quickly and were an integral part of Operation Iraqi Freedom;
Whereas the families of the more than 200,000 members of the United States Armed 
        Forces who were called into action in Operation Iraqi Freedom provided 
        exceptional and unwavering support for the United States servicemembers 
        who were deployed to the Middle East; and
Whereas the people of the United States grieve and pray for all those who made 
        the ultimate sacrifice and for those who were injured in the line of 
        duty while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) commends the members of the United States Armed Forces 
        for their role in Operation Iraqi Freedom, and for serving in 
        that Operation with such distinctive bravery and 
        professionalism;
            (2) calls on the people of the United States to pay honor 
        and homage to all those who fell in the line of duty in 
        Operation Iraqi Freedom;
            (3) commends the families of members of the United States 
        Armed Forces for their special role and sacrifices in providing 
        support for United States servicemembers who were deployed to 
        the Middle East for Operation Iraqi Freedom; and
            (4) expresses deep condolences to the families of the brave 
        men and women who lost their lives during the conflict in Iraq.

            Passed the Senate September 5, 2003.

            Attest:

                                             EMILY J. REYNOLDS,

                                                             Secretary.
