                               RESOLUTION


 
  Recognizing that Veterans Day is a day to honor all veterans of the 
Army and to support the Army Freedom Team Salute's mission to recognize 
            the unsung heroes who have served this country.

Whereas Army personnel have for 230 years answered the call to duty by becoming 
        guardians and defenders of America's freedoms;
Whereas millions of Army veterans selflessly served this Nation and their legacy 
        of duty has reigned in their continued support of the mission of the 
        Army;
Whereas the Army appreciates the sacrifices these courageous men and women have 
        made in answering the call to duty by choosing a life of service;
Whereas the 83rd Congress created Veterans Day as a national day of observance 
        to commemorate the heroes who served in the Armed Forces and the Army 
        recognizes the importance of honoring those who have served their 
        country; and
Whereas the Army created the Freedom Team Salute program to provide a way for 
        the United States and the Army to thank its veterans: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the Senate recognizes that November 11, 2005, 
Veterans Day, is a day to honor all Army veterans and supports the Army 
Freedom Team Salute's mission to recognize the unsung heroes who have 
served this country.
