A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution supports the designation of "Guam War Survivors Remembrance Day" to honor the resilience and courage of CHamoru survivors. The people of Guam endured nearly three years of harsh occupation and atrocities by Imperial Japanese forces during World War II. Survivors faced extreme hardships including forced labor, torture, and imprisonment in concentration camps. The resolution notes that the survivors maintained loyalty to the United States throughout this period. It calls upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
