IV 111th CONGRESS 2d Session H. RES. 1294 In the House of Representatives, U. S., May 11, 2010 RESOLUTION Expressing support for designation of the first Saturday in May as National Explosive Ordnance Disposal Day to honor those who are serving and have served in the noble and self-sacrificing profession of Explosive Ordnance Disposal in the United States Armed Forces.

Whereas the bomb and mine disposal profession was created in April 1941; Whereas members of Explosive Ordnance Disposal organizations perform a dangerous and selfless task often without recognition, risking their lives on behalf of the United States; Whereas the United States will forever be in debt to personnel in the profession of explosive ordnance disposal for their bravery and sacrifice in times of peace and war; Whereas people in the United States should express their recognition and gratitude for members of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal profession; and Whereas the first Saturday in May would be an appropriate date to observe as National Explosive Ordnance Disposal Day: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives supports the designation of National Explosive Ordnance Disposal Day to honor those who are serving and have served in the noble and self-sacrificing profession of Explosive Ordnance Disposal in the United States Armed Forces.

Lorraine C. Miller, Clerk.
