Whereas more than 2,000,000 individuals serve as members of the Armed Forces of

Whereas more than 2,000,000 members of the Armed Forces have deployed to the

        September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks;
Whereas, in the decades following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, 
        members of the Armed Forces deployed in 2 major conflicts and countless 
        operations throughout the world, and their service and bravery helped 
        protect the United States from further terrorist attacks;
Whereas the United States is kept strong and free by the loyal military 
        personnel from the total force of the Armed Forces, which includes the 
        active duty components and the reserve components, who protect the 
        precious heritage of the United States through their declarations and 
        actions;
Whereas members of the Armed Forces have deployed to the Middle East to defend 
        United States security interests, deter aggression, prevent the 
        proliferation of nuclear weapons, and promote stability in the region;
Whereas members of the Armed Forces serving at home and abroad have courageously 
        answered the call of duty to defend the ideals of the United States and 
        to preserve peace and freedom around the world;
Whereas members of the Armed Forces are called upon to respond to an 
        increasingly complex and wide-ranging set of global threats to the 
        United States;
Whereas the courage, professionalism, and sacrifice of these deployed forces 
        represent the highest traditions of the United States military;
Whereas the United States remains committed to easing the transition from 
        deployment abroad to service at home for members of the Armed Forces and 
        their families;
Whereas members of the Armed Forces personify the virtues of patriotism, 
        dedication, courage, and steadfast service;
Whereas the families of members of the Armed Forces make important and 
        significant sacrifices for the United States; and

    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) expresses support for a ``Day of the Deployed'';

        United States and their families;
            (3) calls on the people of the United States to reflect on 
        the service of those members of the Armed Forces, wherever the 
        members serve, past, present, and future; and

        the ``Day of the Deployed'' with appropriate ceremonies and 
        activities.
