IV 109th CONGRESS 1st Session H. CON. RES. 159 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES May 19, 2005 Mr. Boozman (for himself and Ms. Herseth) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Recognizing the sacrifices being made by the families of members of the Armed Forces and supporting the designation of a week as National Military Families Week.

Whereas the people of the United States have a sincere appreciation for the sacrifices being made by the families of members of the Armed Forces while their loved ones are deployed in the service of their country; Whereas military families face unique challenges while their loved ones are deployed because of the lengthy and dangerous nature of these deployments; Whereas the strain on military family life is further increased when these deployments become more frequent; Whereas military families on the home front remain resilient because of their comprehensive and responsive support system; Whereas the brave members of the Armed Forces who have defended the United States since September 11, 2001, continue to have incredible, unending support from their families; and Whereas the week of June 5, 2005, has been proposed to be designated as National Military Families Week: Now, therefore be it

That the Congress— (1)recognizes the sacrifices of military families and the support they provide for their loved ones serving as members of the Armed Forces; and (2)supports the designation of a week as National Military Families Week.
