Washington, D.C.—U.S. Representatives Wesley Bell (D-Mo.) and Don Bacon (R-Neb.) introduced a bipartisan resolution to designate October 26 as a day of recognition honoring all U.S. service members currently deployed overseas and the families who support them at home.

The observance would formally recognize the sacrifices made by deployed servicemembers who serve far from home, often in harm’s way, as well as their loved ones who shoulder the burden of separation and uncertainty in their absence.
