  Honoring the 50th anniversary of the return of the Indiana Rangers.

Whereas, in 1817, the 151st Infantry Regiment of the Indiana National Guard was 
        formed;
Whereas, in 1968, the 151st Infantry Regiment of the Indiana National Guard was 
        activated in preparation for the Vietnam war;
Whereas Company D of the 151st Infantry Regiment was commonly referred to as the 
        Indiana Rangers;
Whereas, in December of 1968, the Indiana Rangers were deployed to Vietnam;
Whereas the Indiana Rangers were the only National Guard infantry unit to serve 
        intact in the Vietnam war;
Whereas, in 1969, the Indiana Rangers earned more medals than any other Army 
        infantry unit in a 1-year period;
Whereas the Indiana Rangers served a 12-month tour in Vietnam; and
Whereas, in November of 1969, the Indiana Rangers returned to Indiana: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives 
that--
            (1) the individuals that served in the Indiana Rangers in 
        the Vietnam war fought for the United States with bravery and 
        honor;
            (2) the Rangers, and all members of the Armed Forces that 
        served in the Vietnam war, continue to be held in the highest 
        possible regard by their community and a grateful Nation;
            (3) we honor the service of this unit on the 50th 
        anniversary of the return of the Rangers; and
            (4) for the many that were willing to sacrifice for the 
        United States, and the many that did not return home, the 
        United States was preserved and will continue to prosper.
                                 <all>
