RESOLUTION
Expressing support for designation of the first Saturday in May as
National Explosive Ordnance Disposal Day to honor those who are serving
and have served in the noble and self-sacrificing profession of
Explosive Ordnance Disposal in the United States Armed Forces.
Whereas the bomb and mine disposal profession was created in April 1941;

and selfless task often without recognition, risking their lives on
behalf of the United States;
Whereas the United States will forever be in debt to personnel in the profession
of explosive ordnance disposal for their bravery and sacrifice in times
of peace and war;
Whereas people in the United States should express their recognition and
gratitude for members of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal profession; and
Whereas the first Saturday in May would be an appropriate date to observe as
National Explosive Ordnance Disposal Day: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the
designation of National Explosive Ordnance Disposal Day to honor those
who are serving and have served in the noble and self-sacrificing
profession of Explosive Ordnance Disposal in the United States Armed
Forces.
