Supporting the designation of "Operation Enduring Freedom Day" to honor the service, sacrifice, and courage of the men and women who served in Operation Enduring Freedom, their families, and those who lost their lives or were wounded in the conflict.

HRES 743 is a symbolic resolution designating "Operation Enduring Freedom Day" to honor U.S. military personnel who served in Afghanistan (2001-2021), including those killed, wounded, or missing, along with their families. It does not create new laws or benefits but urges the public to observe an annual day of recognition through ceremonies and programs. The resolution specifically references the 20-year conflict following the 9/11 attacks, noting 1,926 military deaths and 20,752 wounded. It is a non-binding expression of gratitude from the House, not a policy change affecting any group.
