This is a commemorative resolution honoring the 10th anniversary of the Columbine Day of Service and remembering the victims of the April 20, 1999 shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, which killed 13 people, including 12 students and one teacher, and injured 24 others. The resolution recognizes the Columbine Day of Service as a global movement of community service and resilience that began in 2016, noting that in 2024 participants from six states and ten countries engaged in over 60 service projects involving more than 1,600 people worldwide. The House resolution expresses condolences to those affected by the tragedy and honors the students, staff, alumni, first responders, and community members who responded to the shooting with compassion and solidarity. It redefines the Columbine legacy as one of hope and community rebuilding rather than tragedy alone, and encourages all Americans to participate in annual Columbine Day of Service activities. This resolution contains no funding or binding requirements, as it is ceremonial in nature and simply expresses the sentiments and encouragement of the House of Representatives.
