                               RESOLUTION


 
Supporting the designation of April 2023 as the ``Month of the Military 
                                Child''.

Whereas millions of brave United States servicemembers and veterans have 
        demonstrated their courage and commitment to freedom by serving the 
        Armed Forces of the United States of America in active-duty posts around 
        the world;
Whereas there are more than 1,600,000 children connected to the military across 
        the United States;
Whereas it is only fitting that the people of the United States take time to 
        recognize the contributions of servicemembers and veterans, celebrate 
        their spirit, and let the men and women of the United States in uniform 
        know that while they are taking care of us, the people of the United 
        States are taking care of their children;
Whereas the recognition of a ``Month of the Military Child'' will allow the 
        people of the United States to pay tribute to military children for 
        their commitment, struggles, and unconditional support of United States 
        troops;
Whereas, when a servicemember joins the military, it is a family commitment to 
        the United States, and military children are heroes in their own way; 
        and
Whereas a month-long salute to military children will encourage the United 
        States to provide direct support to military children and families: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports the designation of April 2023 as the ``Month 
        of the Military Child''; and
            (2) urges the people of the United States to observe the 
        Month of the Military Child with appropriate ceremonies and 
        activities that honor, support, and show appreciation for 
        military children.
