Res. 549 with the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Taylor) to recognize the historical significance of August 27, 2000, as the 10th anniversary of President Bush calling up the Guard and Reserves to active duty for Operation Desert Shield.

The measure has 53 bipartisan cosponsors and the endorsement of the National Guard Association of the United States.
