SENATE RESOLUTION 306--RECOGNIZING THAT VETERANS DAY IS A DAY TO HONOR 
ALL VETERANS OF THE ARMY AND TO SUPPORT THE ARMY FREEDOM TEAM SALUTE'S 
  MISSION TO RECOGNIZE THE UNSUNG HEROES WHO HAVE SERVED THIS COUNTRY

  Mr. AKAKA (for himself and Mr. Bond) submitted the following 
resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                              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.
