                               RESOLUTION


 
Recognizing the exemplarily service, devotion to country, and selfless 
  sacrifice of Special Warfare Operators 2nd Class Matthew McCabe and 
Jonathan Keefe and Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Julio Huertas in 
capturing Ahmed Hashim Abed, one of the most-wanted terrorists in Iraq, 
and pledging to continue to support members of the United States Armed 
                     Forces serving in harm's way.

Whereas in September 2009, Special Warfare Operators 2nd Class Matthew McCabe 
        and Jonathan Keefe and Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Julio Huertas 
        successfully captured Ahmed Hashim Abed, one of the most-wanted 
        terrorists in Iraq;
Whereas Ahmed Hashim Abed is the alleged planner of the March 21, 2004, ambush 
        of a supply convoy in Fallujah, Iraq, which resulted in the brutal 
        killing of 4 Blackwater security contractors;
Whereas Ahmed Hashim Abed evaded capture in Iraq for more than 5 years until his 
        capture by the 3 Navy SEALs;
Whereas Special Warfare Operators 2nd Class Matthew McCabe and Jonathan Keefe 
        and Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Julio Huertas are exceptional 
        sailors who accomplished their mission in the finest tradition of the 
        Navy SEALs and the United States Armed Forces while defending their 
        country and protecting the citizens of Iraq;
Whereas the capture of Ahmed Hashim Abed serves as an important reminder that 
        the United States is still engaged in a Global War on Terror; and
Whereas it is because of the efforts of these courageous Navy SEALs and other 
        members of the Armed Forces that Americans continue to be free: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) recognizes the exemplarily service, devotion to 
        country, and selfless sacrifice of Special Warfare Operators 
        2nd Class Matthew McCabe and Jonathan Keefe and Special Warfare 
        Operator 1st Class Julio Huertas; and
            (2) pledges to continue to support members of the United 
        States Armed Forces serving in harm's way.
                                 <all>
