 Commemorating one year since the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, 
                       Florida, on June 12, 2016.

Whereas June 12, 2017, marks one year since the Pulse nightclub shooting in 
        Orlando, Florida, the deadliest mass shooting in the history of the 
        United States;
Whereas, on June 12, 2016, an armed gunman opened fire killing approximately 49 
        people and wounding 53 others in a place where members of the Lesbian, 
        Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer community were gathering for ``Latin 
        Night'';
Whereas the city of Orlando has designated June 12, 2017, as ``Orlando United 
        Day'', a day of love and kindness;
Whereas the community is coming together one year since the Pulse nightclub 
        shooting to show it stands behind the families who are still grieving 
        their loved ones, and the survivors who are still putting the pieces 
        together from lives that were shattered;
Whereas the city of Orlando has continued to support the victims, survivors, and 
        first responders throughout the past year, a recovery process that is 
        far from over;
Whereas the One Orlando Fund has distributed to victims and survivors over 
        $27,000,000 raised through the support of people in Orlando, the Nation, 
        and across the world in the past year; and
Whereas the Orlando community and Central Florida have been forever changed by 
        the events of June 12, 2016: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) remembers the victims, their families, the survivors, 
        and the community one year since the Pulse nightclub shooting 
        in Orlando, Florida, the deadliest mass shooting in the history 
        of the United States;
            (2) acknowledges the scars are still fresh and the 
        community is still recovering from this tragedy;
            (3) offers support to the brave men and women of the 
        emergency response teams, law enforcement agencies who 
        responded to the scene of the shooting, and the medical 
        personnel who treated victims and survivors;
            (4) acknowledges the threat of homegrown terrorists and 
        will work together to ensure such a tragedy is not repeated; 
        and
            (5) stands united together against terrorism and hatred, 
        and will not permit prejudice, violence, and fear to diminish 
        the United States ideals of compassion, liberty, equality, and 
        freedom.
