            performing the tremendous service to our country of bringing 
            peace and stability in the name of democracy.

          3)All Americans express their appreciation and gratitude for 
            members of the Armed Forces at home and abroad for their 
            service and sacrifice to our great nation.  The volunteer

            are also commended for their contribution to the Armed Forces
