        walks of life;
Whereas the Patriot Guard Riders shield the mourning family and friends from 
        interruptions created by any protestor or group of protestors;
Whereas the Patriot Guard Riders engage only in respectful acts in honor of 
        fallen members of the Armed Forces;
Whereas the members of the Patriot Guard Riders willingly give their time, 
        energy, and money to respect the memory of fallen members of the Armed 
        Forces;
Whereas the men and women of the Armed Forces who fight to preserve freedom 
        deserve the utmost respect and support of the American people; and
Whereas the Patriot Guard Riders provide a unique service that honors fallen 
        members of the Armed Forces and their families: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) commends the Patriot Guard Riders and all of the other 
        volunteers involved in shielding the mourning family and 
        friends of a fallen member of the Armed Forces from 
        interruptions created by any protestor or group of protestors; 
        and
            (2) recognizes the sacrifices that veterans, members of the 
        Armed Forces, and their families have made, and continue to 
        make, on behalf of the United States.
