                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Senate that the United States should leave 
  no member of the Armed Forces unaccounted for in the withdrawal of 
                        forces from Afghanistan.

Whereas the United States is a Nation of great honor and integrity;
Whereas the United States has made a sacred promise to members of the Armed 
        Forces who are deployed overseas in defense of this country that their 
        sacrifice and service will never be forgotten; and
Whereas the United States can never thank the proud members of the Armed Forces 
        enough for what they do for this country on a daily basis: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) believes that abandoning the search efforts for members 
        of the Armed Forces who are missing or captured in the line of 
        duty now or in the future is unacceptable;
            (2) believes that the United States has a responsibility to 
        keep the promises made to members of the Armed Forces who risk 
        their lives on a daily basis on behalf of their fellow 
        Americans;
            (3) supports the United States Soldier's Creed and the 
        Warrior Ethos, which state that ``I will never leave a fallen 
        comrade''; and
            (4) believes that, while the United States is beginning the 
        strategic withdrawal of forces from Afghanistan, the United 
        States must continue to fulfill these important promises to any 
        member of the Armed Forces who is in a missing status or 
        captured as a result of service in Afghanistan now or in the 
        future.
