                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                         April 8, 2008.
Whereas United States soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and their families 
        have made extraordinary sacrifices to serve our country in Afghanistan 
        and Iraq;
Whereas more than 1,600,000 members of the Armed Forces of the United States 
        have been deployed in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi 
        Freedom since September 2001;
Whereas more than 30,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines have been 
        wounded in battle;
Whereas advances in battlefield medicine have resulted in hundreds of lives 
        being saved; and
Whereas both physical and mental injuries sustained during combat have a life-
        altering impact on our servicemen and women as well as their families: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the tremendous service that our soldiers, sailors, 
        airmen, and Marines have given to the Nation, especially those who have 
        sustained injury in combat;
            (2) is committed to providing wounded warriors with the highest 
        quality medical care available, and to supporting wounded members of all 
        Armed Forces and their families during their recovery;
            (3) commends the actions of private citizens and organizations who 
        volunteer their continued support to America's wounded warriors; and
            (4) encourages Members and all citizens to take steps to show 
        support and appreciation for returning troops, especially those who have 
        been wounded.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
