                               RESOLUTION


 
  Supporting the goals and ideals of the Year of the American Veteran.

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.
