Expressing the sense of the Congress that special recognition should be given to the observance of Veterans Day on November 11, 1999, the last Veterans Day of the 20th century, as an opportunity to promote greater appreciation, especially among children, of the sacrifices made by America's veterans.

Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) November 11, 1999, will be the final time this century on which the Nation will give special recognition to the contributions of its veterans in defending freedom and democracy; (2) the Nation should use that occasion to make a greater effort to educate children on the contributions of veterans; and (3) it is the hope of Congress that the new millennium will bring a diminished need to sacrifice the lives of young Americans in the cause of securing and preserving freedom.
