RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the designation of May 9 as ``Home Front Heroes
Day''.
Whereas there is not a day for acknowledging everyone on the home front, men and
women, young and old, for their support, work, and sacrifices at home
during the service of their family members, loved ones, and fellow
countrymen and countrywomen in the military;
Whereas Home Front Heroes Day is organized and spearheaded by John Hampton
``Lucky'' Luckadoo, who served in the United States Army Air Corps and
flew 25 missions over Germany as a B-17 bomber pilot in World War II, to
honor civilian Americans for their vital roles in supporting the
military in years past and present;
Whereas Home Front Heroes Day will recognize and celebrate those individuals who
serve selflessly at home to ensure the United States military can focus
on preserving democracy and freedom at home and around the world in a
time of war and peace;
Whereas Home Front Heroes Day is a valuable complement to the existing holidays
and special days that honor our veterans and military members; and
Whereas it is hoped that Home Front Heroes Day will inspire a sense of unity
around a common cause: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) expresses support for the designation of ``Home Front
Heroes Day'' in the United States; and
(2) recognizes the efforts and sacrifice made by civilians
in contribution to wartime efforts.
