A resolution commemorating the centennial of the American Battle Monuments Commission.

This ceremonial resolution commemorates the 100th anniversary of the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC), established in 1923 to honor U.S. military service members. It recognizes the ABMC’s work maintaining 26 permanent overseas cemeteries and 32 memorials in 17 countries, which honor approximately 124,000 American war dead from World War I, World War II, and later conflicts. The resolution specifically thanks ABMC staff for their service and encourages the public to visit these sites to remember fallen service members. It also highlights the ABMC’s role in educating future generations about military sacrifices. As a commemorative resolution, it does not create new laws or policies.
