RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
Members of the House should actively engage with em-
ployers and the American public at large to encourage 
the hiring of members and former members of the Armed 
Forces who were wounded in service and are facing a 
transition to civilian life. 
Whereas United States soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines 
continue to make significant personal sacrifices to protect 
and defend the Nation; 
Whereas since the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Op-
eration Enduring Freedom in late 2001 over 1,348,000

members of the Armed Forces have served overseas in 
combat theaters of operations; 
Whereas over 19,600 members of the Armed Forces have 
been wounded in theater and as a result of their injuries 
many have been separated from their respective service; 
Whereas as a result of required separation from military 
service due to their injuries incurred while in service, 
these members of the Armed Forces are transitioning to 
civilian careers; 
Whereas recent statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics 
show that the transition from military service to a civilian 
career can be difficult, with veterans who are age 20 
through 24 experiencing a jobless rate 3 times the na-
tional average; and 
Whereas Members of Congress could provide assistance in 
making businesses and employers aware of the unique 
skills of wounded veterans and thereby help reduce the 
jobless rate for wounded veterans: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that— 
(1) Members of the House should actively en-
gage with employers and the American public at 
large to encourage the hiring of members and 
former members of the Armed Forces who were 
wounded in service and are facing a transition to ci-
vilian life; and 
(2) a strong relationship should be forged be-
tween Congress, local businesses, and members and
