•HRES 1566 IH 

Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs 

RESOLUTION 

Honoring the service and sacrifice of America’s veterans on 

Veterans Day, 2024. 

Whereas President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11, 

1919, as the first observance of Armistice Day, on the 

one-year anniversary of the end of hostilities in World 

War I; 

Whereas, in 1938, Congress passed a law to establish November 11 annually as Armistice Day to honor World War 

I veterans; 

Whereas, following heroic actions from servicemembers in 

World War II and the Korean War, Congress passed 

Public Law 380 in 1954, to change Armistice Day to 

Veterans Day; 

Whereas Veterans Day honors all who served in the United 

States military during war or peacetime; 

Whereas the United States Department of Veterans Affairs 

indicates that since the founding of the country more 

than 41,000,000 Americans have earned the title of veteran; 

Whereas the United States Census Bureau reports that approximately 15,800,000 Americans were veterans in 

2023, having served in the Armed Forces from World 

War II to post-September 11; 

Whereas veterans have kept the darkness of evil from extinguishing the blessed light of freedom;

•HRES 1566 IH 

Whereas veterans have gone forward to fight kaisers, 

commissars, fascists, Nazis, and terrorists to preserve the 

freedoms of the United States; 

Whereas the families of America’s veterans also sacrifice 

greatly for the United States; 

Whereas veterans must continue to receive the services and 

support they rightfully deserve; and 

Whereas veterans service organizations and other groups provide critical advocacy on behalf of America’s veterans: 

Now, therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 

2 (1) honors the service and sacrifice of America’s 

3 veterans; and 

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

5 observe Veterans Day in recognition of the heroic 

6 actions of America’s veterans to protect the United 

7 States and allow freedom to endure.
