In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

Whereas Congress established the Pearl Harbor Naval Ship-
yard on May 13, 1908, and it has grown from a ‘‘coaling 
and repair station’’ to being known as the ‘‘No Ka Oi 
Shipyard’’ and a national treasure that is strategically 
important to our Nation and equally vital to Hawaii; 
Whereas during World War II, shipyard workers earned the 
motto, ‘‘We keep them fit to fight’’, by resurrecting the 
United States Pacific Fleet from the bottom of Pearl 
Harbor, helping turn the tide of the war at Midway, and 
maintaining the ships that would ultimately win victory 
at sea and sail triumphantly into Tokyo Bay; 
Whereas the shipyard has demonstrated its diverse capabili-
ties by supporting America’s space exploration, Antarctic 
expeditions, and national missile defense; 
Whereas it continues to support the United States Pacific 
Fleet as the largest ship repair facility between the west-
ern coast of the United States and the Far East, pro-
viding full-service maintenance for Pacific Fleet ships 
and submarines throughout the Asia-Pacific theater; 
Whereas the shipyard has become the largest single industrial

Whereas the shipyard has earned multiple national awards

Whereas the shipyard has a direct annual economic impact

served as the impetus for the creation of National Miss-
ing Children’s Day, first proclaimed in 1983; and

dress this national problem,

for law enforcement to use in the case of a missing child 
is an up-to-date, good quality photograph and urges all 
parents and guardians to follow this important pre-
caution, and 
(3) acknowledges that National Missing Children’s 
Day should remind Americans not to forget the children 
who are still missing and not to waver in the effort to 
reunite them with their families.
