                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Whereas the month of November marks Military Family Month;
Whereas the freedom and security the citizens of the United States enjoy today 
        are a result of the continued dedication and vigilance of the Armed 
        Forces throughout the history of the United States;
Whereas the security of the United States depends on the readiness and retention 
        of the men and women of the Armed Forces, a force comprised of active, 
        National Guard, and Reserve personnel;
Whereas military families are an integral source of strength for the Soldiers, 
        Sailors, Marines, Airmen, and Coastguardsmen of the United States, and 
        have continually proven their dedication, service, and willingness to 
        make great sacrifices in support of service members of the United 
        States;
Whereas military families often endure unique circumstances that are central to 
        military life, including long separations from their loved ones, the 
        uncertainty and demands of multiple deployments, school and job 
        transfers, and frequent moves from communities where they have 
        established roots and relationships;
Whereas military family members have become the central support system for each 
        other as they reinforce units through family readiness efforts and 
        initiatives, support service members within the units, and reach out to 
        the families whose loved ones have been deployed; and
Whereas it is important to recognize the sacrifices, support, and dedication of 
        the families of the men and women who serve in the Armed Forces; Now, 
        therefore be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) recognizes the commitment and ever-increasing 
        sacrifices military families make every day during the current 
        era of protracted conflict;
            (2) honors the families of the Armed Forces and thanks the 
        families for their dedication and service to the United States; 
        and
            (3) encourages the citizens of the United States to 
        recognize, commemorate, and honor the role and contribution of 
        the military family, including selfless service that ensures 
        freedom and preserves the quality of life in the United States.

            Passed the Senate November 18, 2010.

            Attest:

                                                             Secretary.
