          SUMMARY :  Recognizes May 19, 2012, as Armed Forces Day and 
          honors the members of the Armed Forces and their families for 
          their services and sacrifices made to our country.  
          Specifically,  this resolution  makes the following legislative 
          findings:

          1)Armed Forces Day was created in 1949 when the United States 
            Department of Defense consolidated the military services.  
            This day will be celebrated on the third Saturday in May and 
            will honor the men and women who are serving in the Army, 
            Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard, including 
            National Guard and Reserves.

          2)Members of the Armed Forces have been killed and injured while 
            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 
            citizens and organizations that assist our wounded warriors 
            are also commended for their contribution to the Armed Forces 
            and the United States.
