                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                         June 26, 2008.
Whereas the Vietnam War was the longest military conflict in United States 
        history;
Whereas more than 3,000,000 Americans served in Southeast Asia during the 
        Vietnam War;
Whereas more than 58,000 Americans lost their lives defending the Nation's 
        freedom during the Vietnam conflict;
Whereas 304,000 additional Americans were wounded during the war;
Whereas on March 29, 1973, the last remaining members of the United States Armed 
        Forces withdrew from Vietnam; and
Whereas the United States does not have a national day of recognition 
        specifically for Vietnam veterans: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of Vietnam Veterans Day; and
            (2) calls on the American people to recognize such a day to remember 
        those men and women who sacrificed their lives defending the Nation in 
        the Vietnam conflict, to recognize the prisoners of war and those 
        members of the Armed Forces who are missing in action, and to honor all 
        Vietnam veterans who served the Nation faithfully to protect its 
        freedom.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
