                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                         June 26, 2008.
Whereas there are currently more than 25,000,000 veterans of the United States 
        Armed Forces, residing in the United States;
Whereas those who are legally termed ``veteran'' have served the United States 
        honorably in either times of peace or war;
Whereas by the very nature of their service, veterans have sacrificed, along 
        with their families, in the name of their country;
Whereas the service of veterans has and continues to guarantee the fundamental 
        freedoms afforded to all Americans;
Whereas the American people are grateful and appreciative of the sacrifices made 
        by all veterans, past, present, and future and wish to especially 
        commemorate their service; and
Whereas the Commission on the Future for America's Veterans has designated 2008 
        as the ``Year of the American Veteran'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) encourages the American people to recognize and acknowledge the 
        sacrifices the American veteran demonstrates in the name of freedom;
            (2) encourages the education of the American people on the many 
        great contributions of the American veteran to American society; and
            (3) supports the goals and ideals of the Year of the American 
        Veteran.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
