                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

Whereas the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), or the Screaming Eagles, 
        headquartered in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, has faithfully answered 
        America's call for service since its formation on August 15, 1942;
Whereas the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) defense of Bastogue during 
        World War II is regarded as one of the great achievements in United 
        States military history;
Whereas the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) is the only air assault 
        division in the world;
Whereas the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) has since deployed tens of 
        thousands of young men and women to Iraq and Afghanistan no less than 
        three times in support of the Global War on Terrorism, performing 
        counter-insurgency operations, securing liberty for such nations to deny 
        safe-haven to terrorists, and helping build a better future for such 
        nations;
Whereas over 6,000 Screaming Eagles have made the ultimate sacrifice and 
        countless others have been injured in multiple operations since 
        inception; and
Whereas the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) has recognized its 
        ``rendezvous with destiny,'' serving the Nation in five wars, with 19 of 
        its members having been awarded the Medal of Honor: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), also known 
        as the Screaming Eagles, as one of the great Divisions in American 
        military history;
            (2) recognizes that America owes a tremendous debt to the 101st 
        Airborne Division (Air Assault) for the extraordinary service, 
        sacrifice, and patriotism of the soldiers of the Division and their 
        families; and
            (3) acknowledges that the contributions of the 101st Airborne 
        Division (Air Assault) to ensure the continued safety and security of 
        this nation will not go unnoticed.
