This resolution is a nonbinding statement adopted by both chambers of Congress to mark the 25th anniversary of September 11, honor victims and responders, and encourage remembrance and support for survivors. It expresses Congresss views and gratitude but does not create new law, authorize spending, or require action by the President. As a concurrent resolution, it records the sense and intentions of Congress rather than imposing legal obligations.
Concurrent resolutions are approved by both the House and the Senate but are not sent to the President and do not become law. They are used to state Congresss position, coordinate actions between chambers, or mark observances and carry no binding legal effect.
This concurrent resolution recognizes the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, honors the 2,977 victims and first responders, commends charities supporting survivors and families, honors Flight 93 heroes, and reaffirms the United States’ commitment to defend freedom and remember that day.
It is a non‑binding, ceremonial statement from Congress encouraging remembrance and support for survivors and responders.
Symbolic, nonbinding resolution with broad appeal and no fiscal or regulatory effects, so high chance of adoption absent scheduling issues.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative concurrent resolution that clearly states its purpose and enumerates recognitions and encouragements appropriate to a symbolic expression by Congress.
