  Ms. STABENOW (for herself and Mr. Levin) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:

                               S. Res. 37

       Whereas it was through the brave and noble efforts of the 
     forefathers of the United States that the United States first 
     gained freedom and became a sovereign country;
       Whereas there are more than 1,300,000 regular members of 
     the Armed Forces and more than 1,100,000 members of the 
     National Guard and Reserves serving the Nation in support and 
     defense of the values and freedom that all people in the 
     United States cherish;
       Whereas the members of the Armed Forces deserve the utmost 
     respect and admiration of the people of the United States for 
     putting their lives in danger for the sake of the freedoms 
     enjoyed by all people of the United States;
       Whereas members of the Armed Forces are defending freedom 
     and democracy around the globe and are playing a vital role 
     in protecting the safety and security of all the people of 
     the United States; and
       Whereas all people of the United States should participate 
     in a moment of silence to support the troops: Now, therefore, 
     be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) designates March 26, 2007 as ``National Support the 
     Troops Day''; and
       (2) encourages all people in the United States to 
     participate in a moment of silence to reflect upon the 
     service and sacrifice of members of the Armed Forces both at 
     home and abroad.
