Encouraging the people of the United States to support the Armed Forces 
and civilian personnel who are engaged in the war on terrorism as part 
     of a united effort to be known as Operation Enduring Support.

Whereas in response to the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 
        11, 2001, the United States is engaged in Operation Enduring Freedom, 
        which will require the men and women of the Armed Forces to engage and 
        defeat terrorists, and which will require both military and civilian 
        personnel to protect the Nation from further attack; and
Whereas it is imperative that the Nation support the Armed Forces and civilian 
        personnel in such an effort: Now, therefore, be it

    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes and commends the efforts of State and local 
        governments, and community, religious, and charitable 
        organizations to support the Armed Forces engaged in Operation 
        Enduring Freedom, as well as civilian personnel who are also 
        engaged in the war on terrorism;
            (2) encourages the people of the United States to further 
        support the Armed Forces and civilian personnel through a 
        united effort to be known as Operation Enduring Support;
            (3) encourages the people of the United States, as part of 
        Operation Enduring Support--
                    (A) to support the families of Armed Forces 
                personnel;
                    (B) to stage patriotic send-off and welcome-home 
                rallies and parades; and
                    (C) to volunteer and contribute financial 
                assistance to the Red Cross, the United Way, and other 
                such organizations.
                                 <all>
