                               RESOLUTION


 
Designating each of Saturday, November 7, 2009, and Saturday, November 
             6, 2010, as ``National Wounded Warrior Day''.

Whereas recognizing ``National Wounded Warrior Day'' would embrace an already 
        existing ``mindset of remembrance'' for men and women alike that have 
        served our Nation;
Whereas the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have seen many wounded 
        warriors whose injuries grow more serious as the enemy increases the use 
        of improvised explosive devices;
Whereas those disabled veterans who have served in previous conflicts without 
        any recognition and those disabled veterans who are currently recovering 
        remind us that we, as people and as a Nation, need to thank and care for 
        our disabled veterans; and
Whereas the number of casualties after 8 years of the current conflicts in Iraq 
        and Afghanistan is over 4,000 and recognizing ``National Wounded Warrior 
        Day'' would ensure that the sacrifice of wounded warriors would not be 
        forgotten: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates each of Saturday, November 7, 2009, and 
        Saturday, November 6, 2010, as ``National Wounded Warrior 
        Day''; and
            (2) encourages the United States to honor our wounded 
        warriors who have sacrificed their safety in order to preserve 
        our freedom.
