                               RESOLUTION

 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that all people in 
the United States should participate in a moment of silence to reflect 
 upon the service and sacrifice of members of the United States Armed 
                    Forces both at home and abroad.

Whereas it was through the brave and noble efforts of the Nation's forefathers 
        that the United States first gained freedom and became a sovereign 
        nation;
Whereas there are more than 1,500,000 active and reserve component members of 
        the United States Armed Forces serving the Nation in support and defense 
        of the values and freedom that all people in the United States cherish;
Whereas the members of the United States Armed Forces deserve the utmost respect 
        and admiration of the people of the United States for whose sake they 
        risked their lives;
Whereas members of the United States Armed Forces are defending freedom and 
        democracy around the globe and are playing a vital role in protecting 
        the safety and security of all people in the United States;
Whereas the Nation officially celebrates and honors the accomplishments and 
        sacrifices of veterans, patriots, and leaders who fought for freedom, 
        but does not yet officially pay tribute to those who currently serve in 
        the United States Armed Forces;
Whereas all people in the United States should participate in a moment of 
        silence to support our troops; and
Whereas, March 26, 2010, is designated as ``National Support Our Troops Day'': 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
all people in the United States should participate in a moment of 
silence to reflect upon the service and sacrifice of members of the 
United States Armed Forces both at home and abroad.
                                 <all>
