#b1jjj1jjj retirees of the ,armed       
,forces of the ,united ,states who have 
earned their retirement through career  
service1 a service-connected disability1
 or both2 ,whereas military retirees    
show an unrivaled dedication to service1
 having faithfully served their country 
and dedicated much of their lives       
knowing that at any moment they could be
 sent anywhere in the world and possibly
 asked to make the ultimate sacrifice to
 protect and defend the national        
security of the ,united ,states2        
,whereas military retirees1 through     
their perseverance and dedication-- 7#a7
 have proven to be leaders who are      
resilient1 focused1 disciplined1        
well-trained1 and well-educated2 and    
7#b7 bring the best qualities of        
citizenship in the ,united ,states to   
lifelong service within their national  
and local communities as dependable1    
responsible citizens and neighbors2     

,whereas the qualities of a military    
retiree often result in positive        
contributions to-- 7#a7 the civilian    
workforce1 as experienced and           
knowledgeable employees2  7#b7 local    
educational institutions1 as teachers1  
counselors1 and coaches2  7#c7 local    
government1 as elected public servants2 
and  7#d7 communities1 as dedicated and 
effective volunteers2 ,whereas the      
dedication and focus of military        
retirees helps strengthen and stabilize 
local communities2 and ,whereas the     
contributions of military retirees to   
their communities are the manifestation 
of the desire of the retirees to        
continue their selfless acts of         
volunteering and their lifelong service 
to the ,united ,states3 ,now1 therefore1
 be it  ,that the ,senate-- 7#a7

,military ,retiree ,appreciation ,day2  
and  7#b7 encourages the people of the
