Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.
H.Res. 743 is a symbolic resolution supporting the creation of "Operation Enduring Freedom Day," an official annual day of recognition honoring the service members, veterans, and families involved in Operation Enduring Freedom, the 20-year military campaign in Afghanistan that began in October 2001 following the September 11 attacks. The resolution recognizes the sacrifice of nearly 2,500 military personnel killed (both from hostile and nonhostile causes) and over 20,000 wounded during the conflict, as well as the ongoing struggles of veterans and their families dealing with the physical and emotional wounds of war. The measure does not establish a specific date for the observance or authorize any funding; instead, it calls for Congress and the American people to commemorate the day with appropriate ceremonies and programs once a date is selected. This is a nonbinding resolution intended to honor those who served rather than create new law or allocate resources.
