 Honoring the memory of the victims of the heinous attack at the Pulse 
                      nightclub on June 12, 2016.

Whereas, on June 12, 2016, a gunman inspired by the Islamic State of Iraq and 
        Syria targeted the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, where he killed 
        49 innocent victims and wounded dozens more in a despicable attack;
Whereas the attack at the Pulse nightclub was an attack on the LGBTQ community, 
        the Hispanic community, the City of Orlando, the State of Florida, and 
        the United States;
Whereas the Orlando community continues to mourn the tragic loss of life but has 
        demonstrated remarkable strength, unity, and resilience in the aftermath 
        of the horrendous event;
Whereas June 12 is designated as ``Pulse Remembrance Day'' in the State of 
        Florida to honor the victims and survivors of the senseless attack;
Whereas the people of the United States continue to pray for those affected by 
        the tragedy; and
Whereas June 12, 2025, marks 9 years since the lives of the 49 innocent victims 
        were tragically cut short by this senseless act of terrorism: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) commemorates the 49 innocent victims killed in the 
        attack at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, on June 12, 
        2016, and offers heartfelt condolences to the families, loved 
        ones, and friends of the victims;
            (2) honors the dozens of survivors of the attack and 
        pledges continued resolve to stand against terrorism and hate; 
        and
            (3) expresses gratitude to the brave law enforcement and 
        emergency medical personnel who responded to the attack.
