CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the United States Postal
Service should issue commemorative postage stamps honoring Americans
who distinguished themselves by their service in the armed forces.
Whereas the United States Postal Service honored four distinguished American
soldiers when it issued its Distinguished Soldiers commemorative postage
stamps on May 3, 2000;
Whereas such stamps not only paid tribute to the patriotism and uncommon valor
of those brave soldiers, but also served as a lasting tribute to the men
and women of the Army who have dedicated their lives to the defense of
our country; and
Whereas it is only fitting that similar recognition be given with respect to the
other branches of the armed forces: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
That--
(1) commemorative postage stamps should be issued by the
United States Postal Service honoring Americans who
distinguished themselves by their service in the Navy, Air
Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, respectively; and
(2) the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee should recommend
to the Postmaster General that such stamps be issued.
