RESOLUTION 
Honoring the service and sacrifice of America’s veterans on 
Veterans Day, 2025. 
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 Novem-
ber 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 vet-
eran; 
Whereas the United States Census Bureau reports that ap-
proximately 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 extin-
guishing the blessed light of freedom; 
Whereas veterans have gone forward to fight kaisers, 
commissars, fascists, Nazis, and terrorists to preserve the 
freedoms of the United States;

•HRES 864 IH 
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 pro-
vide critical advocacy on behalf of America’s veterans: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) honors the service and sacrifice of America’s 
veterans; and 
(2) calls on the people of the United States to 
observe Veterans Day in recognition of the heroic 
actions of America’s veterans to protect the United 
States and allow freedom to endure.
