A joint resolution supporting the Day of Honor 2000 to honor and recognize the service of minority veterans in the United States Armed Forces during World War II.

Joint Resolution 
May 26, 2000 
Supporting the Day of Honor 2000 to honor and recognize the service of minority 
[S.J. Res. 44] 
veterans in the United States Armed Forces during World War II. 
Whereas World War II was a determining event of the 20th century 
in that it ensured the preservation and continuation of American 
democracy; 
Whereas the United States called upon all its citizens, including 
the most oppressed of its citizens, to provide service and sacrifice 
in that war to achieve the Allied victory over Nazism and fascism; 
Whereas the United States citizens who served in that war, many 
of whom gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives, included more 
than 1,200,000 African Americans, more than 300,000 Hispanic 
Americans, more than 50,000 Asian Americans, more than 20,000 
Native Americans, more than 6,000 Native Hawaiians and Pacific 
Islanders, and more than 3,000 Native Alaskans; 
Whereas because of invidious discrimination, many of the coura-
geous military activities of these minorities were not reported 
and honored fully and appropriately until decades after the Allied 
victory in World War II; 
Whereas the motto of the United States, "E Pluribus Unum" (Out 
of Many, One), promotes our fundamental unity as Americans 
and acknowledges our diversity as our greatest strength; and 
Whereas the Day of Honor 2000 Project has enlisted communities 
across the United States to participate in celebrations to honor 
minority veterans of World War II on May 25, 2000, and through-
out the year 2000: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled. That Congress— 
(1) commends the African American, Hispanic American, 
Asian American, Native American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific 
Islanders, Native Alaskan, and other minority veterans of the 
United States Armed Forces who served during World War 
H; 
(2) especially honors those minority veterans who gave 
their lives in service to the United States during that war; 
PUBLIC LAW 106-205—MAY 26, 2000 
114 STAT. 313 
(3) supports the goals and ideas of the "Day of Honor 
2000" in celebration and recognition of the extraordinary service 
of all minority veterans in the United States Armed Forces 
during World War II; and 
(4) authorizes and requests that the President issue a President, 
proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to 
honor these minority veterans with appropriate programs and 
activities.
