                               RESOLUTION


 
   Celebrating the United States-Republic of Korea alliance and the 
   dedication of the Wall of Remembrance at the Korean War Veterans 
                       Memorial on July 27, 2022.

Whereas, formed with the signing of the Mutual Defense Treaty Between the United 
        States and the Republic of Korea, done at Washington October 1, 1953, 
        the United States-Republic of Korea alliance is the linchpin of peace, 
        security, and prosperity for Northeast Asia, a free and open Indo-
        Pacific region, and across the world;
Whereas United States-Republic of Korea military and defense ties are 
        unwavering, and our ever-increasing economic, technological, diplomatic, 
        people-to-people, and values-based bonds are strong and enduring;
Whereas the United States commitment to the defense of the Republic of Korea 
        remains ironclad, and the alliance continues to work toward our shared 
        goals of securing peace, stability, and prosperity on the Korean 
        Peninsula and throughout the Indo-Pacific;
Whereas the Wall of Remembrance at the Korean War Veterans Memorial was 
        dedicated on July 27, 2022, with the names of more than 36,600 members 
        of the United States Armed Forces who lost their lives in the Korea 
        conflict, along with more than 7,100 Korean Augmentation to the United 
        States Army personnel who died serving alongside them;
Whereas the names of the United States and Republic of Korean fallen are 
        integrated to reflect the shared burden they bore to defend the Republic 
        of Korea; and
Whereas the Republic of Korea and its citizens funded nearly the entire 
        $22,000,000 cost of building the Wall of Remembrance: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives deeply appreciates and 
sincerely thanks the Government and people of the Republic of Korea for 
their generosity in funding the Wall of Remembrance, reflecting the 
shared sacrifice and common values of the United States-Republic of 
Korea alliance.
