 Expressing support for the goals of Veterans Educate Today's Students 
                  (VETS) Day, and for other purposes.

Whereas the United States has, in the course of its history, fought in many wars 
        and conflicts to defend freedom and protect the interests of the Nation;
Whereas millions of men and women have served the Nation in time of need as 
        members of the Armed Forces;
Whereas the service of veterans has been vital to the Nation, and the sacrifices 
        made by veterans and their families should not be forgotten with the 
        passage of time;
Whereas children throughout the Nation would benefit from programs that provide 
        education about veterans and that instill a patriotic appreciation of 
        the sacrifices made by veterans to defend freedom and to protect the 
        interests of the Nation;
Whereas efforts are being made throughout the Nation to devote November 10, or 
        another date as may be designated, to an event known as Veterans Educate 
        Today's Students Day; and
Whereas schools that participate in Veterans Educate Today's Students Day set 
        aside a portion of the school day for the study, recognition, and 
        appreciation of veterans: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) recognizes the importance of veterans to the United 
        States;
            (2) expresses support for the goals of Veterans Educate 
        Today's Students Day;
            (3) urges teachers, civic leaders, and veterans to carry 
        out programs that educate children about the service of 
        veterans and the sacrifices made by veterans and their 
        families; and
            (4) encourages the people of the United States to 
        participate in local and national activities recognizing 
        Veterans Educate Today's Students Day and other events that 
        foster education about the importance of veterans to the 
        Nation.
