HRES 939 United States House · 118th Congress

Supporting the designation of December 16, 2023, as "National Wreaths Across America Day".

HRES 939 is a symbolic resolution designating December 16, 2023, as "National Wreaths Across America Day." It expresses congressional support for the Wreaths Across America project, which places wreaths at veterans' graves nationwide. The resolution honors the project’s 32-year tradition, volunteers, patriotic escort units (including motorcycle, law enforcement, and first responder groups), and the trucking industry that transports wreaths to over 4,000 locations. It does not create new laws or programs but formally recognizes the efforts to "Remember, Honor, and Teach" about veterans' service. The resolution directly affects no individuals or entities through legal mandate, serving only as a ceremonial acknowledgment.
