CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the deepest appreciation of Congress to the families of
members of the United States Armed Forces.
Whereas more than 2,000,000 Americans are demonstrating their devotion to the
United States and freedom by serving in the United States Armed Forces;
Whereas there are a multitude of family members, including mothers, fathers,
siblings, spouses, and children, supporting each member of the Armed
Forces;
Whereas, even in peacetime, the family of a member of the Armed Forces makes
concessions given the inherent dangers of military service and the
frequent relocations resulting in disruption of everyday routine;
Whereas, during wartime, family members endure increased sacrifices, forgo time
with their loved one, and face increased worry and uncertainty when
their loved one serves extended tours overseas or engages in enhanced
training activities;
Whereas an increasing number of family members have taken on volunteer
responsibilities in organizations associated with the Armed Forces;
Whereas the family of a member of the Armed Forces wounded in action willingly
accepts the additional role of caregiver, even when it requires
postponement of personal goals;
Whereas the families of members of the Armed Forces serve as a pillar of
strength and encouragement for those serving the interests of the United
States at home and abroad; and
Whereas the families of members of the Armed Forces play a critical role in
providing emotional support and readjustment assistance as members
transition from military life to civilian life: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That Congress expresses its deepest appreciation to the families, both
immediate and extended, of members of the United States Armed Forces
for the unwavering support, both physical and emotional, that family
members give their loved ones while they answer the call to serve their
country and keep the United States safe.
Passed the House of Representatives July 16, 2008.
