                    IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

                             April 22, 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
    Resolved, 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.
