                               RESOLUTION


 
       Commending the founder and members of Project Compassion.

Whereas it is the responsibility of every citizen of the United States to honor 
        the service and sacrifice of the veterans of the United States, 
        especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice;
Whereas, in the finest tradition of this sacred responsibility, Kaziah M. 
        Hancock, an artist from central Utah, founded a nonprofit organization 
        called Project Compassion, which endeavors to provide, without charge, 
        to the family of a member of the Armed Forces who has fallen in active 
        duty since the events of September 11, 2001, a museum-quality original 
        oil portrait of that member;
Whereas, to date, Kaziah M. Hancock, four volunteer professional portrait 
        artists, and those who have donated their time to support Project 
        Compassion have presented over 700 paintings to the families of the 
        fallen heroes of the United States; and
Whereas Kaziah M. Hancock and Project Compassion have been honored by the 
        Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, the Disabled American 
        Veterans, and other organizations with the highest public service awards 
        on behalf of fallen members of the Armed Forces and their families: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the members of Project Compassion have demonstrated, 
        and continue to demonstrate, extraordinary patriotism and 
        support for the members of the Armed Forces who have given 
        their lives for the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan and 
        have done so without any expectation of financial gain or 
        recognition for these efforts;
            (2) the people of the United States owe the deepest 
        gratitude to the members of Project Compassion; and
            (3) the Senate, on behalf of the people of the United 
        States, commends Project Compassion volunteer professional 
        portrait artists and the entire Project Compassion organization 
        for their tireless work in paying tribute to those members of 
        the Armed Forces who have fallen in the service of the United 
        States.
                                 <all>
