SRES 199 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution designating May 5, 2023, as "United States Foreign Service Day" in recognition of the men and women who have served, or are presently serving, in the Foreign Service of the United States, and honoring the members of the Foreign Service who have given their lives in the line of duty.

This Senate resolution designates May 5, 2023, as "United States Foreign Service Day" to honor current and past members of the U.S. Foreign Service. It recognizes their service in diplomacy, security, consular support, and global development, particularly marking the 99th anniversary of the Foreign Service (established by the 1924 Rogers Act). The resolution calls for public reflection on their contributions and sacrifices, including those who died in service. As a ceremonial resolution, it does not create new laws or funding but formally acknowledges the Foreign Service’s role in advancing U.S. interests abroad.
