Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S3536; text: CR S3535)
This Senate resolution commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Korean War's outbreak on June 25, 1950, and honors the sacrifice of American service members who fought in the conflict. The resolution recognizes that over 1.7 million Americans served in Korea, with more than 36,500 killed and over 103,000 wounded, while calling for the war to be remembered as the "Noble War" rather than the "Forgotten War." It reaffirms the importance of the U.S.-South Korea alliance formed in 1953 and emphasizes South Korea's role as a vital democratic ally in the Indo-Pacific region. The resolution also uses the Korean War's lessons to argue for maintaining strong military readiness across all domains including land, sea, air, space, and cyber capabilities. As a commemorative resolution, it does not authorize any funding or establish specific timelines, but serves as a formal statement of Congress recognizing this historical milestone and current defense priorities.
