                               RESOLUTION


 
     Expressing support for the designation of July as ``National 
            Independence and Veterans Appreciation Month''.

Whereas, on July 4, the United States observes Independence Day as a national 
        holiday to mark the anniversary of the Second Continental Congress 
        adopting the Declaration of Independence in 1776;
Whereas the month of July helps to commemorate the United States' original 13 
        colonies formally separating and declaring independence from Great 
        Britain;
Whereas, since the founding of this Nation, our country's servicemembers and 
        veterans have fought valiantly and selflessly to protect the freedoms 
        granted by the Declaration of Independence as well as the United States 
        Constitution;
Whereas veterans and all servicemembers should be commended and celebrated for 
        their acts of bravery throughout our Nation's history; and
Whereas the month of July serves as a time to salute and honor veterans who have 
        fought and served for the United States of America: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives expresses support for 
the designation of ``National Independence and Veterans Appreciation 
Month''.
