Whereas it was through the brave and noble efforts of the
Nation’s forefathers that the United States first gained freedom and became a
sovereign nation;
Whereas there are more than 1,354,000 active component and
more than 1,100,000 reserve component members of the Armed Forces serving the
Nation in support and defense of the values and freedom that all Americans
cherish;
Whereas the members of the Armed Forces deserve the utmost
respect and admiration of their fellow Americans for putting their lives in
danger for the sake of the freedoms enjoyed by all Americans;
Whereas the families of members of the Armed Forces make
sacrifices commensurate with the men and women of the Armed Forces;
Whereas members of the Armed Forces are defending freedom
and democracy around the globe and are playing a vital role in protecting the
safety and security of all Americans;
Whereas the Nation officially celebrates and honors the
accomplishments and sacrifices of veterans, patriots, and leaders who fought
for freedom, this resolution pays tribute to those who currently serve in the
Armed Forces;
Whereas all Americans should participate in a moment of
silence to support our troops and their families; and
Whereas March 26th, 2008, is designated as National
Support Our Troops Day
: Now, therefore, be it
That it is the sense of the House of
Representatives that all Americans should participate in a moment of silence to
reflect upon the service and sacrifice of members of the United States Armed
Forces both at home and abroad, and their families.
Lorraine C. Miller,
Clerk.
