Whereas first responders include professional and volunteer fire, police,

      Expressing support for the designation of April 8, 2021, as 
                        ``Remanufacturing Day''.

Whereas remanufacturing is a comprehensive and rigorous industrial process by 
        which a previously sold, leased, used, worn, or nonfunctional product or 
        part is returned to a ``like-new'' or ``better-than-new'' condition, 
        from both a quality and performance perspective, through a controlled, 
        reproducible, and sustainable process;
Whereas a 2012 United States International Trade Commission report found that 
        remanufacturers support at least 180,000 full-time jobs in the United 
        States, and further states that production of remanufactured goods in 
        the United States increased by 15 percent from 2009 to 2011 and exports 
        totaled $11.2 billion annually;
Whereas remanufacturing has been recognized by leading universities, research 
        institutions, and manufacturers in the United States as good for the 
        environment for its ability to divert end-of-life products from 
        landfills;
Whereas by encouraging businesses, State agencies, nonprofit organizations, 
        schools, and individuals to celebrate Remanufacturing Day 2021, we can 
        further promote remanufacturing as environmentally friendly and 
        economically smart; and
Whereas to focus the Nation's attention on the benefits of remanufacturing, 
        businesses, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations have 
        joined together to celebrate Remanufacturing Day and are encouraging 
        their colleagues, friends, families, and communities to learn more about 
        the benefits of remanufactured products: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of ``Remanufacturing Day''.

Whereas New Hampshire celebrates Maple Month during the month of March;

Whereas Title 42 Public Health Authorities have helped protect United States 
        citizens from exposure to COVID-19 from migration at the southern

Whereas Title 42 Public Health Authorities have been essential to reducing 
        overcrowding in Customs and Border Protection facilities;

 Recognizing the roles and contributions of the teachers of the United 
  States in building and enhancing the civic, cultural, and economic 
                    well-being of the United States.

Whereas education and knowledge are the foundation of the current and future

Whereas teachers and other education staff have earned and deserve the respect 
        of their students and communities for their selfless dedication to 
        community service and the futures of the children of the United States;
Whereas during these extraordinarily challenging times, teachers and other 
        education staff have stepped up in new ways and new roles to support 
        their communities and their students;
Whereas the purposes of National Teacher Appreciation Week, celebrated from May 
        2, 2022, through May 6, 2022, are--

    (1) to raise public awareness of the unquantifiable contributions of 
teachers; and

    (2) to promote greater respect and understanding for the teaching 
profession; and

Whereas students, schools, communities, and a number of organizations

  Expressing support for the designation of August 1, 2021, as ``Gold 
                         Star Children's Day''.

Whereas the recognition of Gold Star Families in the United States dates back to 
        World War I, when the families of fallen service members displayed a 
        service flag in the window of their homes with a gold star;
Whereas in 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law legislation 
        declaring Gold Star Mother's Day, a national observance honoring the 
        mothers of fallen service members annually on the last Sunday of 
        September;
Whereas since 2010, the Senate has honored Gold Star Spouses by resolution 
        annually on April 5, recognizing the unique sacrifices made by spouses 
        of fallen service members;
Whereas thousands of sons and daughters of military families have lost mothers 
        or fathers who served in the Armed Forces and also deserve national 
        recognition for the burden and legacy they carry; and
Whereas no date has existed to specifically recognize the children of fallen 
        service members of the United States as part of a national debt of 
        gratitude that the people of the United States owe to the service 
        members who sacrificed all in protecting the freedom of the United 
        States and the people of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of ``Gold Star Children's 
        Day'';
            (2) honors the sacrifices and hardships of the children of 
        fallen service members; and
            (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        ``Gold Star Children's Day'' in support of children of the 
        fallen men and women of the Armed Forces of the United States.

    Expressing support for the designation of February 4, 2022, as 
                  ``National Cancer Prevention Day''.

Whereas National Cancer Prevention Day is a day to remind us that, when looking 
        at cancer, we need to look at prevention and reducing risks for human 
        health and the environment;
Whereas when we work to prevent cancer risks, it impacts human health, the 
        environment, and the economy;
Whereas cancer is one of the leading causes of death around the world and has 
        touched the lives of nearly everyone, either directly or indirectly;
Whereas cancer is the cause of nearly 1 out of every 4 deaths in the United 
        States;
Whereas, in 2022, there will be an estimated 1,918,030 new cancer cases 
        diagnosed and 609,360 cancer deaths in the United States;
Whereas cancer is the second most common cause of death among children ages 1 to 
        14 years in the United States after accidents, and in 2022 an estimated 
        10,470 children in this age group will be diagnosed with cancer, and 
        1,050 will die from it; and
Whereas February 4, 2022, would be an appropriate date to designate as 
        ``National Cancer Prevention Day'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of ``National Cancer 
        Prevention Day'';
            (2) recognizes all efforts to raise the awareness for the 
        reduction of cancer risks; and
            (3) recognizes the devastating effect cancer has on 
        families and wishes to expand knowledge, encourage early 
        detection, and work with friends in the medical and scientific 
        fields to put an end to this deadly disease.

 Honoring the service and sacrifice of America's veterans on Veterans 
                               Day, 2022.

Whereas President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11, 1919, as the first 
        observance of Armistice Day, on the one-year anniversary of the end of 
        hostilities in World War I;
Whereas, in 1938, Congress passed a law to establish November 11 annually as 
        Armistice Day to honor World War I veterans;
Whereas, following heroic actions from servicemembers in World War II and the 
        Korean War, Congress passed Public Law 380 in 1954, to change Armistice 
        Day to Veterans Day;
Whereas Veterans Day honors all veterans who have served in the United States 
        military;
Whereas, since the founding of the country, more than 41,000,000 Americans have 
        earned the title of veteran;
Whereas the United States Census Bureau reports that approximately 16,500,000 
        Americans were veterans in 2021, having served in the Armed Forces from 
        before World War II to the Global War on Terror;
Whereas veterans have kept the darkness of evil from extinguishing the blessed 
        light of freedom;
Whereas veterans have gone forward to fight kaisers, commissars, fascists, 
        Nazis, and terrorists to preserve the freedoms of the United States;
Whereas the families of America's veterans also sacrifice greatly for the United 
        States;
Whereas veterans must continue to receive the services and support they 
        rightfully deserve; and
Whereas veterans service organizations and other groups provide critical 
        advocacy on behalf of America's veterans: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) honors the service and sacrifice of America's veterans; 
        and
            (2) calls on the people of the United States to observe 
        Veterans Day in recognition of the heroic actions of America's 
        veterans to protect the United States and allow freedom to 
        endure.

    To express the support of the House of Representatives that no 
governmental entity should designate what jobs are deemed essential and 
                             nonessential.

Whereas government entities determined which businesses could remain open during 
        the COVID-19 pandemic;
Whereas this intervention prevented Americans from earning a paycheck to support 
        themselves;
Whereas these actions forced many workers onto government programs instead of 
        working wage paying jobs;
Whereas no one should exchange the ability to earn a paycheck for dependence on 
        government;
Whereas any job that provides a paycheck to cover living expenses is essential 
        for the individual;
Whereas many businesses were never able to recover from these forced closures;
Whereas the government should never be picking winners or losers; and
Whereas the United States of America was built on the foundation of individual 
        liberties including the ability to work and earn a living: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives expresses the 
following:
            (1) Every job that delivers a paycheck to cover living 
        expenses is essential.
            (2) No Federal, State, or local government should deem what 
        businesses have the right to operate and which must close.
