Commemorating the 30th anniversary of Operation Desert Storm's ground campaign and honoring the legacy of America's Desert Storm veterans and their example of strength and courage.

House Resolution 161 is a commemorative measure that officially recognizes the 30th anniversary of the ground campaign of Operation Desert Storm. The resolution honors the service of the nearly 700,000 U.S. veterans who served in the conflict and pays tribute to the 299 service members who lost their lives. As a simple resolution, its primary impact is to express the formal sentiment of the House of Representatives rather than to create new laws or authorize government spending.
