                               RESOLUTION


 
      Honoring the life, legacy, and achievements of MacNolia Cox.

Whereas MacNolia Cox (Montiere) was born on January 12, 1923, in Kenmore, Ohio, 
        to her parents John Thomas Cox and Alberta (Evans) Key, and raised in 
        Akron, Ohio;
Whereas MacNolia was a member of Livingston Baptist Church and, as a child, 
        enjoyed reading the dictionary from A to Z to learn the definitions and 
        spellings of words;
Whereas, in 1936, at the age of 13, MacNolia won the Akron Spelling Bee at the 
        Akron Armory over the course of 2.5 hours, besting 50 other participants 
        and becoming the first Black participant to win the competition;
Whereas MacNolia won the Akron Spelling Bee with the word ``voluble'' in front 
        of 3,000 people, taking home a $25 prize and a ticket to Washington, 
        D.C., to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee;
Whereas, upon arriving in Washington, D.C., MacNolia was forced to stay in a 
        segregated hotel and was not permitted sit with the other participants 
        during the competition;
Whereas, during the competition, MacNolia was asked to spell the word 
        ``nemesis'', which at the time was capitalized and therefore barred from 
        the competition;
Whereas the use of this word in the competition was immediately protested by a 
        Beacon Journal reporter, and despite learning 100,000 approved words, 
        MacNolia misspelled the word and finished the competition fifth overall, 
        taking home a $75 prize;
Whereas, upon her return to Akron, MacNolia was greeted by a parade of hundreds 
        of cars of community members, where local dignitaries made speeches on 
        behalf of her success;
Whereas MacNolia went on to work as a domestic employee for a local doctor; and
Whereas MacNolia Cox Montiere died of cancer on September 12, 1976, at the age 
        of 53, and was survived by her husband John, stepson Nelson Montiere, 
        stepdaughter Joan Montiere Tabler, brother Otis Cox, sisters Orabell 
        Finney, Rosa Lee Jackson, and Ollie Davis, and 1 granddaughter: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate honors the life, legacy, and achievements 
of MacNolia Cox, an inspiration for young students of color today.

Whereas thousands of United States citizens, lawful permanent residents, 
        vulnerable Afghans, and their families sought refuge following the 
        Afghan Taliban's takeover of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan;
Whereas the State of Qatar played a critical role in assisting the United States

                               RESOLUTION


 
      Designating 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 Senate--
            (1) designates August 1, 2021, as ``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.

Whereas, in 1977, Jackie Parker and Ralph Everett had the vision and courage to

   Expressing the sense of the Senate that aliens convicted of drunk

                        immigration enforcement.

Whereas Sarah Root of Council Bluffs, Iowa, died at the hands of a drunk driver 
        who was not lawfully present in the United States;
Whereas the mission of the immigration enforcement process is to ensure the 
        safety of our communities; and
Whereas drunk driving and aliens convicted of drunk driving are a threat to

 Recognizing the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Purdue ``All-

Whereas the World's Largest Drum is a significant piece of the ``All-American''

Whereas, in 1921, ``All-American'' Marching Band Director Paul Spotts Emrick 
        commissioned the World's Largest Drum from the Leedy Corporation of 
        Indianapolis;
Whereas, in 1921, the World's Largest Drum was the largest drum in existence and 
        was displayed at the Indiana Statehouse and Indiana State Fair;
Whereas it is a Purdue ``All-American'' Marching Band tradition to honor 
        national leaders and heroes with the privilege to beat the World's 
        Largest Drum, with President Harry Truman, Gus Grissom, and Neil 
        Armstrong being among those accepting the invitation; and
Whereas the World's Largest Drum is an essential element of the ``All-American'' 
        Marching Band's performances across Indiana, the United States, and the 
        world: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--

Supporting the goals and ideals of ``National High School Seniors Voter 
                          Registration Day''.

Whereas in order for the Federal Government to remain of the people, by the 
        people, and for the people, individuals must take advantage of their 
        right to vote;
Whereas the right to vote is one of the most important rights of a citizen, and 
        every effort should be made to promote voter registration at school so 
        that students may begin participating in the foundation of the 
        representative democracy of the United States;
Whereas the legislature of Louisiana voted in 2002 to annually recognize the 
        first Tuesday in May as Louisiana High School Seniors Voter Registration 
        Day; and
Whereas the purpose of National High School Seniors Voter Registration Day is to

                the first Tuesday in May; and
                    (B) encourage students to make a lifelong 
                commitment to civic participation in all areas of 
                society by educating them on the importance of voting.

                               RESOLUTION


 
Designating September 25, 2021, through October 3, 2021, as ``Blue Star 
                            Welcome Week''.

Whereas Blue Star Families seeks to empower military families by connecting them 
        with their neighbors, both individuals and organizations, to create 
        vibrant communities of mutual support;
Whereas Blue Star Families annually designates the week beginning the last 
        Saturday in September and concluding 9 days thereafter as ``Blue Star 
        Welcome Week'';
Whereas, during Blue Star Welcome Week, the Senate recognizes the 600,000 active 
        duty and transitioning military families who move to new communities 
        each year;
Whereas nearly half of these permanent change of station (PCS) moves occur 
        during the summer;
Whereas only 27 percent of military family respondents to the 2020 Military 
        Family Lifestyle Survey published by Blue Star Families reported that 
        they feel a sense of belonging to their local civilian community; and
Whereas a sense of belonging is essential to the well-being and readiness of 
        military families: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--

            (4) encourages civilians across the United States to 
        welcome military-connected families into their communities.

 Commemorating the 105th anniversary of the granting of United States 
               citizenship to the people of Puerto Rico.

Whereas, since 1898, after the Spanish-American War and following the 
        ratification of the Treaty of Paris, Puerto Rico has been a territory of 
        the United States;
Whereas Puerto Rico is located approximately 1,000 miles southeast of Florida;
Whereas, on this day, March 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson recognized and 
        welcomed the people of Puerto Rico into the United States as citizens by 
        signing into law the Jones-Shafroth Act;
Whereas the Jones-Shafroth Act separated the Government of Puerto Rico into 
        executive, judicial, and legislative branches and endowed Puerto Ricans 
        with a bill of rights;
Whereas, since that time, Puerto Ricans have worked diligently to make countless 
        contributions to the national identity of the United States by sharing 
        their rich culture and heritage;
Whereas, since that time, Puerto Ricans have proudly served in the nation's 
        Armed Forces, protecting Americans domestically and abroad;
Whereas the people of Puerto Rico continue to occupy a place of distinction in 
        the civic fabric and discourse of the United States; and
Whereas the United States joins Puerto Ricans in celebration of the rights and 
        responsibilities inherent in United States citizenship: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) commemorates the 105th anniversary of the granting of 
        United States citizenship to the people of Puerto Rico;
            (2) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        and celebrate that anniversary; and
            (3) honors the contributions made by, and celebrates, the
