H.R. 4151 is an important piece of legislation because it answers another key element of this investment in our veterans.

It is the spiritual home of the world oldest and second largest Christian church.

This resolution is significant to all Eastern Orthodox Christians, folks who live in our districts, because of its importance of making sure the very essence of the church survives.
