RESOLUTION
Calling upon all Americans on this Memorial Day, 2021,
to honor the men and women of the Armed Forces
who have died in the pursuit of freedom and peace.
Whereas the preservation of basic freedoms and world peace
has always been a valued objective of this Nation;
Whereas hundreds of thousands of United States men and
women have selflessly given their lives in sacrifice in serv-
ice as peacemakers and peacekeepers;
Whereas the American people should continue to demonstrate
the appreciation and gratitude these patriots deserve and
to commemorate the ultimate sacrifice they made in serv-
ice to our Nation; and
Whereas Memorial Day is the day of the year to remember
the sacrifices made by these defenders who now lie in hal-
lowed ground throughout the world and serves as an ex-
pression of our faith in democracy, our faith in our val-
ues, and our faith that those who fight for freedom will
defeat those whose cause is unjust: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
1
(1) calls on the people of the United States to
2
observe Memorial Day as a special day of remem-
3
brance to honor the men and women of the United
4
States who died in the pursuit of freedom and peace;
5
and
6
(2) believes this should be done as an expres-
7
sion of the respect, pride, and admiration felt by
8
every American and by every person liberated
