                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Honoring the service and sacrifice of members of the United States 
Armed Forces who are serving in, or have served in, Operation Enduring 
       Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn.

Whereas more than 2,000,000 members of the Armed Forces have deployed to the 
        theaters of war since the commencement of Operation Enduring Freedom, 
        Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn;
Whereas hundreds of thousands of such members have deployed for multiple tours 
        of duty, leaving their homes, their families, and in many cases, their 
        civilian jobs;
Whereas more than 5,500 members of the Armed Forces have made the ultimate 
        sacrifice for the United States while serving in Iraq or Afghanistan;
Whereas tens of thousands of additional members of the Armed Forces have been 
        seriously wounded in the line of duty while serving in these theaters of 
        war;
Whereas these members of the Armed Forces have answered the Nation's call to 
        duty, serving bravely and nobly and, in most cases, without fanfare or 
        acclaim;
Whereas these members of the Armed Forces have personified the virtues of 
        patriotism, service, duty, courage, and sacrifice; and
Whereas all Americans recognize the service and sacrifices made by these members 
        of the Armed Forces and their families: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) honors the members of the Armed Forces who are serving 
        in Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and 
        Operation New Dawn and the members and veterans who have 
        previously served in Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation 
        Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn; and
            (2) calls on all Americans to reflect on the service of 
        these members and veterans and to hold them in a special place 
        of honor now and in the future.
                                 <all>
