H.Con.Res. 84 is being considered on the floor under suspension of the rules, requiring a two-thirds majority vote for passage. This legislation was introduced by Rep. Zach Wamp (R-TN) on March 26, 2009.
H.Con.Res. 84 resolves that the House of Representatives:
• "supports the goals and objectives of a National Military Appreciation Month; and

On March 24, 2004, the House of Representatives passed H. Con. Res. 328 (during the 108th Congress), entitled “Recognizing and honoring the United States Armed Forces and supporting the goals and objectives of a National Military Appreciation Month,” and on April 26, 2004, the Senate passed H. Con. Res. 328 by unanimous consent.
