Whereas more than 2,000,000 individuals serve as members of the Armed Forces of 
        the United States, including the reserve components of the Armed Forces;
Whereas several hundred thousand members of the Armed Forces have served in more 
        than 200 countries in every region of the world;
Whereas, since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, more than 2,000,000 
        members of the Armed Forces have deployed to the area of operations of 
        the United States Central Command;
Whereas, in the 25 years following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, 
        members of the Armed Forces deployed in multiple major conflicts and 
        countless operations throughout the world, and their service and bravery 
        helped protect the United States from further terrorist attacks;
Whereas the United States is kept strong and free by the loyal military 
        personnel of the Armed Forces, which includes the active duty and 
        reserve components, who protect the precious heritage of the United 
        States through their declarations and actions;
Whereas members of the Armed Forces have deployed to the Middle East to defend 
        the security interests of the United States, deter aggression, prevent 
        the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and promote stability in the 
        region;
Whereas members of the Armed Forces serving at home and abroad have courageously 
        answered the call to duty to defend the ideals of the United States and 
        to preserve peace and freedom around the world;
Whereas members of the Armed Forces are called upon to respond to an 
        increasingly complex and wide-ranging set of global threats to the 
        United States;
Whereas the courage, professionalism, and sacrifice of these deployed forces 
        represent the highest traditions of the United States military;
Whereas the United States remains committed to easing the transition from 
        deployment abroad to service at home for members of the Armed Forces and 
        the families of the members;
Whereas members of the Armed Forces personify the virtues of patriotism, 
        dedication, courage, and steadfast service;
Whereas the families of members of the Armed Forces make important and 
        significant sacrifices for the United States; and
Whereas the Senate has designated October 26 as the ``Day of the Deployed'' 
        since 2011: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates October 26, 2026, as the ``Day of the 
        Deployed'';
            (2) honors the deployed members of the Armed Forces of the 
        United States and the families of the members;
            (3) calls on the people of the United States to reflect on 
        the service of those members of the Armed Forces, wherever the 
        members serve, past, present, and future; and
            (4) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        the ``Day of the Deployed'' with appropriate ceremonies and 
        activities.
