House Stands With Our Troops In the Fight Against Terrorism

June 16, 2006

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman David Dreier (R-San Dimas,CA), Chairman of the House Rules Committee, voted today to approve a resolution commending our troops for their efforts in the Global War on Terror and reaffirming our commitment to victory. H.Res. 861, declaring that the United States will prevail in the Global War on Terror, the struggle to protect freedom from the terrorist adversary, was approved with bipartisan support 256-153.

"Today’s House vote sends a strong signal to friends and foes alike - the United States of America is absolutely committed to winning the war on terror," Dreier said. "There are many battlefields in this war. Iraq and Afghanistan are the most challenging. Our troops are serving there with valor, honor, and incredible commitment. They deserve to know this Congress stands behind them and their mission. While challenges remain, progress is evident to those who choose to see it. That progress is reason for extreme pride, and confidence that our mission to bring freedom to the Middle East will eventually succeed, if we see it through."
