                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Senate that all people in the United States 
 should participate in a moment of silence to reflect upon the service 
 and sacrifice of members of the Armed Forces both at home and abroad.

Whereas it was through the brave and noble efforts of the forefathers of the 
        United States that the United States first gained freedom and became a 
        sovereign country;
Whereas there are more than 1,300,000 active component and more than 1,100,000 
        reserve component members of the Armed Forces serving the Nation in 
        support and defense of the values and freedom that all people in the 
        United States cherish;
Whereas the members of the Armed Forces deserve the utmost respect and 
        admiration of the people of the United States for putting their lives in 
        danger for the sake of the freedoms enjoyed by all people of the United 
        States;
Whereas members of the Armed Forces are defending freedom and democracy around 
        the globe and are playing a vital role in protecting the safety and 
        security of all the people of the United States;
Whereas the United States officially celebrates and honors the accomplishments 
        and sacrifices of veterans, patriots, and leaders who fought for 
        freedom, but does not yet officially pay tribute to those who currently 
        serve in the Armed Forces;
Whereas all people of the United States should participate in a moment of 
        silence to support the troops; and
Whereas March 26th, 2006, is designated as ``National Support the Troops Day'': 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that all people in the 
United States should participate in a moment of silence to reflect upon 
the service and sacrifice of members of the Armed Forces both at home 
and abroad.
                                 <all>
