Expressing the sense of Congress concerning support to members of the

war on terrorism and the war with Iraq.
Whereas the valiant and dedicated members of the United States Armed Forces

Whereas the members of Reserve and National Guard components of the Armed Forces
consistently demonstrate their readiness and ability to respond and
deploy quickly to become an integral part of the active components;
Whereas the families of the active and reserve forces provide exceptional and
unwavering support for deployed forces;
Whereas the valiant members of the military forces of the allies of the United
States share common goals and objectives with the United States in the
war on terrorism and the war with Iraq; and
Whereas all citizens of the United States and the allies of the United States
have demonstrated a show of unity in the aftermath of the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001, and against the threat to global security
and crimes against humanity posed by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of Congress that--
(1) each member of the Armed Forces of the United States be
commended for serving with such distinction and
professionalism;
(2) the family members of members of the Armed Forces of
the United States be commended for their special role in
providing support for the members of the Armed Forces;
