                               RESOLUTION


 
   Recognizing and thanking all military families for the tremendous 
       sacrifices and contributions they have made to the Nation.

Whereas there are currently more than 3,000,000 immediate family members of 
        individuals serving in the Armed Forces;
Whereas these family members bear the most immediate and profound burden of the 
        absence of their loved ones during the performance of their duties;
Whereas these families have been the bedrock of support and strength for our 
        Nation's Armed Forces for over 230 years;
Whereas military families serve this country with an equal amount of dedication 
        and patriotism as their loved ones who are fighting for the United 
        States;
Whereas the families of servicemembers--whether in the regular components of the 
        Armed Forces, the Reserve, or the National Guard--feel enormous amounts 
        of pride, love, and trepidation during the absence of their loved ones;
Whereas it is essential that the Nation recognize the contributions made by 
        military families and celebrate their strength; and
Whereas the Senate stands in humble respect of the sacrifice made by our 
        military families: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) honors the families of members of the Armed Forces and 
        recognizes that they too share in the burden of protecting the 
        Nation;
            (2) urges the people of the United States to join with the 
        Senate in thanking military families for their tremendous 
        sacrifice on behalf of the Nation; and
            (3) recognizes with great appreciation the contributions 
        made by military families in providing the essential personal 
        support that our Nation's warriors need.
                                 <all>
