                               RESOLUTION


 
 Honoring the memory of the victims of the senseless attack at Marjory 
                Stoneman Douglas High School 1 year ago.

Whereas, on February 14, 2018, a mass shooting that took the lives of 17 
        teachers and students took place at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School 
        in Parkland, Florida;
Whereas the people of the United States continue to pray for those who were 
        affected by this tragedy;
Whereas President Donald Trump stated: ``No child, no teacher, should ever be in 
        danger in an American school. No parent should ever have to fear for 
        their sons and daughters when they kiss them goodbye in the morning.'';
Whereas the Parkland community has shown strength, compassion, and unity in the 
        past year; and
Whereas February 14, 2019, marks 1 year since the horrific attack: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) commemorates the victims killed in the attack and 
        offers heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to the 
        families, loved ones, and friends of the victims;
            (2) honors the survivors and pledges continued support for 
        their recovery;
            (3) recognizes the strength and resilience of the Marjory 
        Stoneman Douglas High School community; and
            (4) expresses gratitude to the emergency medical and health 
        care professionals of the Parkland community for their efforts 
        in responding to the attack and caring for the victims and 
        survivors.
