                         SUBMITTED RESOLUTIONS

                                 ______
                                 

SENATE RESOLUTION 333--DESIGNATING EACH OF SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2009, 
  AND SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2010, AS ``NATIONAL WOUNDED WARRIOR DAY''

  Mr. ISAKSON submitted the following resolution; which was referred to 
the Committee on the Judiciary:

                              S. Res. 333

       Whereas recognizing ``National Wounded Warrior Day'' would 
     embrace an already existing ``mindset of remembrance'' for 
     men and women alike that have served our Nation;
       Whereas the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have 
     seen many wounded warriors whose injuries grow more serious 
     as the enemy increases the use of improvised explosive 
     devices;
       Whereas those disabled veterans who have served in previous 
     conflicts without any recognition and those disabled veterans 
     who are currently recovering remind us that we, as people and 
     as a Nation, need to thank and care for our disabled 
     veterans; and
       Whereas the number of casualties after 8 years of the 
     current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan is over 4,000 and 
     recognizing ``National Wounded Warrior Day'' would ensure 
     that the sacrifice of wounded warriors would not be 
     forgotten: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) designates each of Saturday, November 7, 2009, and 
     Saturday, November 6, 2010, as ``National Wounded Warrior 
     Day''; and
       (2) encourages the United States to honor our wounded 
     warriors who have sacrificed their safety in order to 
     preserve our freedom.
