                              S. Res. 306

       Whereas Army personnel have for 230 years answered the call 
     to duty by becoming guardians and defenders of America's 
     freedoms;
       Whereas millions of Army veterans selflessly served this 
     Nation and their legacy of duty has reigned in their 
     continued support of the mission of the Army;
       Whereas the Army appreciates the sacrifices these 
     courageous men and women have made in answering the call to 
     duty by choosing a life of service;
       Whereas the 83rd Congress created Veterans Day as a 
     national day of observance to commemorate the heroes who 
     served in the Armed Forces and the Army recognizes the 
     importance of honoring those who have served their country; 
     and
       Whereas the Army created the Freedom Team Salute program to 
     provide a way for the United States and the Army to thank its 
     veterans: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate recognizes that November 11, 
     2005, Veterans Day, is a day to honor all Army veterans and 
     supports the Army Freedom Team Salute's mission to recognize 
     the unsung heroes who have served this country.
