SENATE RESOLUTION 750--CELEBRATING THE UNITED STATES-REPUBLIC OF KOREA 
 ALLIANCE AND THE DEDICATION OF THE WALL OF REMEMBRANCE AT THE KOREAN 
                 WAR VETERANS MEMORIAL ON JULY 27, 2022

  Mr. SULLIVAN (for himself and Ms. Duckworth) submitted the following 
resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                              S. Res. 750

       Whereas, formed with the signing of the Mutual Defense 
     Treaty Between the United States and the Republic of Korea, 
     done at Washington October 1, 1953, the United States-
     Republic of Korea alliance is the linchpin of peace, 
     security, and prosperity for Northeast Asia, a free and open 
     Indo-Pacific region, and across the world;
       Whereas United States-Republic of Korea military and 
     defense ties are unwavering, and our ever-increasing 
     economic, technological, diplomatic, people-to-people, and 
     values-based bonds are strong and enduring;
       Whereas the United States commitment to the defense of the 
     Republic of Korea remains ironclad, and the alliance 
     continues to work toward our shared goals of securing peace, 
     stability, and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and 
     throughout the Indo-Pacific;
       Whereas the Wall of Remembrance at the Korean War Veterans 
     Memorial was dedicated on July 27, 2022, with the names of 
     more than 36,600 members of the United States Armed Forces 
     who lost their lives in the Korea conflict, along with more 
     than 7,100 Korean Augmentation to the United States Army 
     personnel who died serving alongside them;
       Whereas the names of the United States and Republic of 
     Korean fallen are integrated to reflect the shared burden 
     they bore to defend the Republic of Korea; and
       Whereas the Republic of Korea and its citizens funded 
     nearly the entire $22,000,000 cost of building the Wall of 
     Remembrance: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate deeply appreciates and sincerely 
     thanks the Government and people of the Republic of Korea for 
     their generosity in funding the Wall of Remembrance, 
     reflecting the shared sacrifice and common values of the 
     United States-Republic of Korea alliance.
