Whereas the young men and women who perished as a result of the bombing at Abbey 
        Gate on August 26, 2021, represent the best of the United States of 
        America;
Whereas their service secured the blessings of liberty for the United States of 
        America and the people of Afghanistan from those who sought to harm it;
Whereas their actions during the withdrawal of United States forces from 
        Afghanistan saved the lives of thousands of innocents from the tyranny 
        of the Taliban; and
Whereas their ultimate sacrifice on the 26th day of August 2021 was not made in 
        vain, and so long as their grateful Nation draws breath, their faithful 
        service in the cause of liberty shall not be forgotten: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the United States of 
America--
            (1) designates a National Day of Remembrance in honor of 
        the American servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice at 
        the bombing of Abbey Gate at the Hamid Karzai International 
        Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, on August 26, 2021;
            (2) expresses its deepest condolences and gratitude to the 
        Gold Star Families of those lost at Abbey Gate; and
            (3) remembers their honorable and faithful service to their 
        Nation.
