                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing support for the designation of May 1, 2022, as ``Silver Star 
                         Service Banner Day''.

Whereas the Senate has always honored the sacrifices made by the wounded and ill 
        members of the Armed Forces;
Whereas the Silver Star Service Banner has come to represent the members of the 
        Armed Forces and veterans who were wounded or became ill in combat in 
        the wars fought by the United States;
Whereas the Silver Star Families of America was formed to help the people of the 
        United States remember the sacrifices made by the wounded and ill 
        members of the Armed Forces by designing and manufacturing Silver Star 
        Service Banners and Silver Star Flags for that purpose;
Whereas the sole mission of the Silver Star Families of America is to evoke 
        memories of the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces and 
        veterans on behalf of the United States through the presence of a Silver 
        Star Service Banner in a window or a Silver Star Flag flying;
Whereas the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces and veterans on 
        behalf of the United States should never be forgotten; and
Whereas May 1, 2022, is an appropriate date to designate as ``Silver Star 
        Service Banner Day'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports the designation of May 1, 2022, as ``Silver 
        Star Service Banner Day''; and
            (2) calls upon the people of the United States to observe 
        Silver Star Service Banner Day with appropriate programs, 
        ceremonies, and activities.
                                 <all>
