                               RESOLUTION


 
  Supporting the Adopt-a-Platoon program, which encourages support to 
 deployed soldiers through letters, care packages, pen pal campaigns, 
                        and monetary donations.

Whereas in 1998 the Adopt-a-Platoon Soldier Support Effort (``AAP'') was founded 
        as a nonprofit 501(c)(3);
Whereas the AAP is managed nationwide by volunteer mothers and fathers;
Whereas the AAP works to ensure that deployed United States Service members in 
        all branches of the military are not forgotten by providing needed mail 
        support;
Whereas the AAP works to ensure that the deployed United States Service members 
        in all branches of the military are provided a better deployment quality 
        of life;
Whereas the AAP works to lift the morale of all deployed United States Service 
        members in all branches of the military;
Whereas the AAP works to assist military families;
Whereas the AAP works to promote patriotism in our schools and communities; and
Whereas the AAP effort is bipartisan and takes no stand on any conflict the 
        United States may be in: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives honors the 
contributions of the Adopt-a-Platoon Solider Support Effort for 
supporting deployed United States Service members in all branches of 
the military.
