IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JUNE 30, 2025 
Mr. HUNT submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for the designation of July as ‘‘American 
Pride Month’’. 
Whereas the purpose of American Pride Month is to cele-
brate, memorialize, and increase awareness of the monu-
mental achievements of the United States of America and 
the countless number of patriots throughout her history 
which have made this Nation the last best hope of earth; 
Whereas President Ronald Reagan said in his farewell ad-
dress to the Nation, we’ve got to teach history based not 
on what’s in fashion but what’s important; 
Whereas the purpose of American Pride Month is to bring 
American exceptionalism back into the spotlight and to 
teach our children what it means to be an American;

perous Nation we have today;

next one, when another generation of young men were 
called to serve and if necessary, lay down their lives to 
preserve freedom; 
Whereas we recognize the achievements made by the Greatest 
Generation during World War II, the efforts of brave 
American patriots across our country to mobilize the war 
effort, the struggle to free Europe from the fascist grip 
of Hitler, and war in the Pacific to defeat the Empire of 
Japan with the full might of the United States Military; 
Whereas we recognize the bold and daring American Astro-
nauts who won the space race, walked on the moon, 
ended a Cold War, and the brilliant men and women of 
NASA who supported them; 
Whereas we honor and salute the American Troops who lost 
their lives in Vietnam, those who returned and did not 
receive the hero’s welcome they deserved, and those who 
never returned;
