                               RESOLUTION


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

Whereas the lineage of the 151\st\ Infantry Regiment of the Indiana National 
        Guard dates back to the formation of the 2\nd\ Regiment of Indiana 
        Volunteers in June 1846;
Whereas in 1968, Company D of the 151\st\ Infantry Regiment of the Indiana 
        National Guard was activated in preparation for deployment to Vietnam;
Whereas Company D of the 151\st\ 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 Army National Guard ground maneuver 
        unit to serve in Southeast Asia;
Whereas the Indiana Rangers served in Vietnam from December of 1968 to November 
        of 1969;
Whereas the Indiana Rangers earned more decorations during their year of service 
        in Vietnam than any other Army infantry company during any 1-year period 
        in the Vietnam War; and
Whereas in November of 1969, the Indiana Rangers returned to Indiana: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the Indiana Rangers that served in the Vietnam War 
        fought for the United States with bravery and honor;
            (2) the Indiana Rangers and all members of the armed forces 
        who served in the Vietnam War continue to be held in the 
        highest possible regard by their community and the United 
        States;
            (3) we honor the service of this unit on the 50\th\ 
        anniversary of the return of the Indiana 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>
