Whereas the preservation of basic freedoms and world peace 

has always been a valued objective of this Nation; 

Whereas more than one million United States men and 

women have selflessly given their lives in sacrifice in service as peacemakers and peacekeepers; 

Whereas the American people should continue to demonstrate 

the appreciation and gratitude these patriots deserve and 

to commemorate the ultimate sacrifice they made in service to our Nation; and 

Whereas Memorial Day is the day of the year to remember 

the sacrifices made by these defenders who now lie in hallowed ground throughout the world and serves as an expression of our faith in democracy, our faith in our values, and our faith that those who fight for freedom will 

defeat those whose cause is unjust: Now, therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 

2 (1) calls on the people of the United States to 

3 observe Memorial Day as a special day of remem4 brance to honor the men and women of the United 

5 States who died in the pursuit of freedom and peace; 

6 and 

7 (2) believes this should be done as an expres8 sion of the respect, pride, and admiration felt by 

9 every American and by every person liberated 

10 through the courageous sacrifice and valiant toil of 

11 the forces of the United States and its allies in this 

12 noble struggle.
