RESOLUTION
Supporting the goals and ideals of a National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims.
Whereas the death of a loved one is a devastating experience, and the murder of a loved one is exceptionally difficult;
Whereas the friends and families of murder victims cope with grief through a variety of support services, including counseling, crisis intervention, professional referrals, and assistance in dealing with the criminal justice system; and
Whereas the designation of a National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims on September 25 of each year provides an opportunity for the people of the United States to honor the memories of murder victims and to recognize the impact on surviving family members: Now, therefore, be it
That the Senate—
supports the goals and ideals of a National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims; and
recognizes the significant benefits offered by the organizations that provide services to the loved ones of murder victims.
