Whereas there are 2,100,000 retirees of the Armed Forces of the United States who have earned their retirement through career service or service-connected disability; Whereas military retirees are dedicated, focused, well-trained, well-disciplined, and well-educated and bring the best qualities of United States citizenship to lifelong service within the United States and their local communities as stable, responsible, citizens, and neighbors; Whereas those qualities often result in contributions to the civilian workforce as experienced and dedicated employees, to local educational institutions as teachers, counselors, and coaches, to local government as elected public servants, and to communities as effective volunteer leaders; Whereas such dedication and focus brings balance and stability to local communities; and Whereas those contributions are the manifestation of the desire of military retirees to continue lifelong service to the United States: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives encourages the people of the United States to honor the past and continued service of military retirees to their communities and the United States long after such retirees have completed military service by supporting the goals and ideals of a Military Retiree Appreciation Day .
