                               RESOLUTION


 
Designating March 26, 2007, as ``National Support the Troops Day'' and 
encouraging the people of the United States to participate in a moment 
of silence to reflect upon the service and sacrifice of members of the 
                 Armed Forces both at home and abroad.

Whereas it was through the brave and noble efforts of the forefathers of the 
        United States that the United States first gained freedom and became a 
        sovereign country;
Whereas there are more than 1,300,000 regular members of the Armed Forces and 
        more than 1,100,000 members of the National Guard and Reserves serving 
        the Nation in support and defense of the values and freedom that all 
        people in the United States cherish;
Whereas the members of the Armed Forces deserve the utmost respect and 
        admiration of the people of the United States for putting their lives in 
        danger for the sake of the freedoms enjoyed by all people of the United 
        States;
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 the people of the United States; and
Whereas all people of the United States should participate in a moment of 
        silence to support the troops: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates March 26, 2007, as ``National Support the 
        Troops Day''; and
            (2) encourages all people in the United States to 
        participate in a moment of silence to reflect upon the service 
        and sacrifice of members of the Armed Forces both at home and 
        abroad.
                                 <all>
