 Commemorating the 25th anniversary of the construction and dedication 
                   of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Whereas 2007 marks the 25th anniversary of the construction and dedication of 
        the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.;
Whereas the memorial displays the names of more than 58,000 men and women who 
        lost their lives between 1956 and 1975 in the Vietnam combat area or are 
        still missing in action;
Whereas every year millions of people in the United States visit the monument to 
        pay their respects to those who served in the Armed Forces;
Whereas the Vietnam Veterans Memorial has been a source of comfort and healing 
        for Vietnam veterans and the families of the men and women who died 
        while serving their country; and
Whereas the memorial has come to represent a legacy of healing and demonstrates 
        the appreciation of the people of the United States for those who made 
        the ultimate sacrifice: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) expresses its support and gratitude for all of the men 
        and women who served honorably in the Armed Forces of the 
        United States in defense of freedom and democracy during the 
        Vietnam War;
            (2) extends its sympathies to all people in the United 
        States who suffered the loss of friends and family in Vietnam;
            (3) encourages the people of the United States to remember 
        the sacrifices of our veterans; and
            (4) commemorates the 25th anniversary of the construction 
        and dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
