Honoring Concerns of Police Survivors for 25 years of service to family 
    members of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.

Whereas May 14, 2009, marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of Concerns of 
        Police Survivors;
Whereas, for 25 years, Concerns of Police Survivors has answered one of the 
        highest and most noble calls to service by providing compassionate care 
        and support to family members of law enforcement officers killed in the 
        line of duty;
Whereas, for 25 years, Concerns of Police Survivors has been a bedrock of 
        strength for those family members in helping them rebuild their 
        shattered lives;
Whereas, for 25 years, Concerns of Police Survivors has showed the highest 
        amount of concern and respect for the tens of thousands of family 
        members of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty;
Whereas those family members bear the most immediate and profound burden of the 
        absences of their loved ones;
Whereas Concerns of Police Survivors facilitates healing and provides love and 
        renewed life to those family members far from the eye of the media and 
        the general public;
Whereas it is essential that the people of the Unites States are made aware of 
        the good works of Concerns of Police Survivors and recognize the 
        contributions of Concerns of Police Survivors to so many families; and
Whereas National Police Week, observed in 2009 from May 10 to May 16, is the 
        most appropriate time to honor Concerns of Police Survivors: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) honors Concerns of Police Survivors for 25 years of 
        service to the family members of law enforcement officers 
        killed in the line of duty across the United States;
            (2) recognizes and thanks Concerns of Police Survivors for 
        assisting in rebuilding the shattered lives of those family 
        members through the organization's invaluable programs;
            (3) urges the people of the United States to join with the 
        Senate in thanking Concerns of Police Survivors on behalf of 
        the Nation; and
            (4) recognizes with great appreciation the sacrifices made 
        by the families of law enforcement officers killed in the line 
        of duty in providing essential support to one another.
                                 <all>
