A HOUSE RESOLUTION supporting a new government bond, stamp, and coin program to benefit veterans.
Whereas, the nation is blessed with men and women who voluntarily swear an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; and
Whereas, these men and women make great personal sacrifices in the name of our Constitution, thereby ensuring the perpetuation of our individual liberties; and
Whereas, these same men and women voluntarily make great personal sacrifices to carry democracy and extend the freedoms we enjoy to the underprivileged of the world; and
Whereas, some of these men and women will incur great personal hardships and catastrophic injury in the performance of their duties; and
Whereas, we feel duty-bound to honor, support, and provide relief to these warriors and their families; Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
SECTION 1.  The House of Representatives supports an initiative implementing a new government bond, stamp, and coin program, the proceeds from which shall be used exclusively for those warriors and their families who have borne the brunt of preserving our freedoms and extending those freedoms throughout the world.
SECTION 2.  This resolution is effective upon adoption.
