•HRES 1119 IH 
Whereas it was through the brave and noble efforts of the 
Nation’s forefathers that the United States first gained 
freedom and became a sovereign nation; 
Whereas there are more than 1,500,000 active and reserve 
component members of the United States Armed Forces 
serving the Nation in support and defense of the values 
and freedom that all people in the United States cherish; 
Whereas the members of the United States Armed Forces de-
serve the utmost respect and admiration of the people of 
the United States for whose sake they risked their lives; 
Whereas members of the United States Armed Forces are de-
fending freedom and democracy around the globe and are 
playing a vital role in protecting the safety and security 
of all people in the United States; 
Whereas the Nation officially celebrates and honors the ac-
complishments and sacrifices of veterans, patriots, and 
leaders who fought for freedom, but does not yet officially 
pay tribute to those who currently serve in the United 
States Armed Forces; 
Whereas all people in the United States should participate in 
a moment of silence to support our troops; and 
Whereas, March 26, 2010, is designated as ‘‘National Sup-
port Our Troops Day’’: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that all people in the United States should 
participate in a moment of silence to reflect upon the serv-
ice and sacrifice of members of the United States Armed 
Forces both at home and abroad.
