                               RESOLUTION


 
Condemning the murder of Army Private William Andrew ``Andy'' 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 Andrew ``Andy'' Long, aged 23, of 
        Conway, Arkansas, was murdered outside the Army-Navy Career Center in 
        Little Rock, Arkansas;
Whereas on June 1, 2009, Private Quinton Ezeagwula, aged 18, of Jacksonville, 
        Arkansas, 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 the United 
        States;
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 the freedoms cherished by people in the United States;
Whereas service in the Armed Forces demands extraordinary sacrifices from 
        service members and their families and often places service members in 
        harm's way;
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 reprehensible and must not be tolerated: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) offers its condolences to the family of Private William 
        Andrew ``Andy'' 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 or perpetrators of this senseless 
        shooting;
            (4) urges the people of the United States to join the 
        Senate in condemning acts of violence; and
            (5) honors the service and sacrifice of all men and women 
        in the Armed Services who protect and defend our freedom every 
        day.
