Condemning the murder of Army Private William Long and the wounding of 
  Army Private Quinton Ezeagwula, who were shot outside the Army Navy 
        Career Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, on June 1, 2009.

Whereas, on June 1, 2009, Private William Long, 23, was murdered outside the 
        Army Navy Career Center in Little Rock, Arkansas;
Whereas, on June 1, 2009, Private Quinton Ezeagwula, 18, was wounded by gunfire 
        outside the Army Navy Career Center in Little Rock, Arkansas;
Whereas there are more than 1,400,000 active component and more than 1,200,000 
        reserve component members of the Armed Forces protecting America;
Whereas there are more than 8,000 Army and Army Reserve recruiters and more than 
        7,000 Navy recruiters serving at more than 1,500 military recruiting 
        stations and centers in United States, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Europe;
Whereas the men and women of the Armed Forces risk their lives every day to 
        preserve America's freedom and to defend the liberty, security, and 
        prosperity enjoyed by the American people;
Whereas service in the Armed Forces entails special hazards and demands 
        extraordinary sacrifices from service members;
Whereas members of the Armed Forces are the targets of violence not only abroad 
        but in the United States as well; and
Whereas such violence is despicable and must not be tolerated: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) offers its condolences to the family of Private William 
        Long;
            (2) hopes for a full recovery for Private Quinton 
        Ezeagwula;
            (3) urges swift prosecution to the fullest extent of the 
        law of the perpetrator of this senseless shooting; and
            (4) urges the American people to join Congress in 
        condemning acts of violence.
