                                                      October 23, 2007.
Whereas the Vietnam Veterans Memorial serves as a memorial to the 2,700,000 men 
        and women in the United States Armed Forces who served in the designated 
        war zone during the Vietnam Era;
Whereas 58,256 men and women died while serving in South East Asia or as a 
        result of their wounds or a service-connected disability;
Whereas on Friday evening, September 7, 2007, the United States Park Police 
        reported being notified of a light, oily, and unidentified substance 
        that was spilled over portions of some of the names, panels, and paving 
        stones of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial;
Whereas at least 14 of the 140 inscribed panels of the Memorial Wall were 
        damaged; and
Whereas the National Park Service has determined that the damage was the result 
        of an act of vandalism: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives condemns all attacks upon the 
memory of veterans and their service to the United States, as exemplified by the 
incident of vandalism of September 7, 2007.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
