       Whereas the valiant and dedicated members of the United 
     States Armed Forces performed in an exceptionally 
     professional manner, befitting of an all-volunteer military 
     force, during Operation Iraqi Freedom;
       Whereas the National Guard and the other reserve components 
     of the United States Armed Forces demonstrated their 
     readiness and ability to respond and deploy quickly and were 
     an integral part of Operation Iraqi Freedom;
       Whereas the families of the more than 200,000 members of 
     the United States Armed Forces who were called into action in 
     Operation Iraqi Freedom provided exceptional and unwavering 
     support for the United States servicemembers who were 
     deployed to the Middle East; and
       Whereas the people of the United States grieve and pray for 
     all those who made the ultimate sacrifice and for those who 
     were injured in the line of duty while serving in Operation 
     Iraqi Freedom: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That Congress--
       (1) commends the members of the United States Armed Forces 
     for their role in Operation Iraqi Freedom, and for serving in 
     that Operation with such distinctive bravery and 
     professionalism;

     and homage to all those who fell in the line of duty in 
     Operation Iraqi Freedom;

     Armed Forces for their special role and sacrifices in 
     providing support for United States servicemembers who were

     men and women who lost their lives during the conflict in
