                               RESOLUTION


 
Supporting the goals and ideals of a Cold War Veterans Recognition Day 
to honor the sacrifices and contributions made by members of the Armed 
  Forces during the Cold War and encouraging the people of the United 
  States to participate in local and national activities honoring the 
           sacrifices and contributions of those individuals.

Whereas the Cold War involved hundreds of military exercises and operations that 
        occurred between September 2, 1945, and December 26, 1991;
Whereas millions of Americans valiantly stood watch as members of the Armed 
        Forces during the Cold War;
Whereas many Americans sacrificed their lives during the Cold War in the cause 
        of defeating communism and promoting world peace and stability; and
Whereas May 1 is an appropriate day to observe a Cold War Veterans Recognition 
        Day: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of a Cold War Veterans 
        Recognition Day to honor the sacrifices and contributions made 
        by members of the Armed Forces during the Cold War; and
            (2) encourages the people of the United States to 
        participate in local and national activities honoring the 
        sacrifices and contributions of those individuals.
