RESOLUTION

        A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION urging the United States Congress to adopt the Veterans Remembered Flag.

    Whereas, Our veterans deserve to be treated with honor and respect;

    Whereas, A flag is a symbol of recognition for a group or an ideal;

    Whereas, There are flags for all branches of the United States Armed Services, prisoners of war, and those missing in action; however, there is no flag to honor the millions of former military personnel who have bravely served our nation;

    Whereas, As a group, veterans represent the most honorable ideal and deserve a special symbol representing them;

    Whereas, It is estimated that there are 20,400,000 living veterans who served in our nation's military; these brave individuals comprise a significant portion of our country's population;

    Whereas, A Veterans Remembered Flag will remind all people of the brave warriors who bled and died for freedom around the world in such places as Yorktown and Lexington, Gettysburg and Appomattox, Normandy and the Argonne, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, Seoul and the Chosin Reservoir, Saigon and Pleiku, and Bagram and Baghdad;

---

    Whereas, The citizens of the United States owe an immense debt of gratitude to our veterans for the sacrifices they have made to secure the safety of our country; and

    Whereas, The Veterans Remembered Flag will memorialize and honor all past, present, and future veterans and provide an enduring symbol of support: Therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives

of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana,

the Senate concurring:

    SECTION 1. That the Indiana General Assembly recognizes the need for a Veterans Remembered Flag recognizing the more than 20,000,000 living men and women who served and the many who died defending our great nation.
    SECTION 2. That the Principal Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a copy of this resolution to the President of the United States and the members of the Indiana Congressional delegation.
