H. Res. 908
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
July 18, 2006.
Whereas for the first time in 24 years, the Italian National 
Soccer Team won the Federation Internationale de Foot-
ball Association (FIFA) World Cup; 
Whereas Italy is one of the most successful countries in 
World Cup history, reaching the finals 6 times and win-
ning 4 four championships, in 1934, 1938, 1982, and 
2006; 
Whereas the 2006 championship is due in large part to the 
extraordinary leadership of head coach Marcello Lippi 
and team Captain Fabio Cannavaro; 
Whereas in 2006, team Italy (known as ‘‘Azzurri’’ or simply 
‘‘the Blue’’) went undefeated in World Cup play and won 
the final game in only the second World Cup Champion-
ship to be determined by shoot-out; 
Whereas in winning the World Cup, the Italian National Soc-
cer Team faced adversity and overcame setbacks; 
Whereas the vibrant culture and heritage of Italy were 
brought to our Nation by millions of Italian immigrants; 
Whereas Italian Americans have made significant contribu-
tions to our Nation in all fields of endeavor;
•HRES 908 EH 
Whereas Italian Americans rejoiced in the victory of the soc-
cer team of their ancestral homeland, many spontane-
ously celebrating in American neighborhoods throughout 
our Nation; 
Whereas all Americans can take pride in the knowledge that 
the United States National Soccer Team was the only 
team that Italy was unable to defeat during this World 
Cup, needing to settle with a 1–1 tie; and 
Whereas the fans of the Italian National Soccer team, many 
hailing from the United States, represent some of the 
most enthusiastic in the world: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives congratu-
lates Italy and the Italian National Soccer team on winning 
the 2006 Federation Internationale de Football Association 
(FIFA) World Cup.

Whereas country music has played an integral part in encour-
aging Americans to support its armed forces and their 
role in protecting American ideals, mainly during times 
of national conflict, through numerous popular patriotic 
songs; 
Whereas the lyrics in these patriotic songs invoke sacrifice, 
responsibility, determination, freedom and liberty that 
were present during the nation’s founding;
