A RESOLUTION
1 Memorializing the Congress of the United States to pass H.R.

6 WHEREAS, More and more military readiness and service are
7 being contributed by Guard and Reserve service personnel, vis-a-

10 personnel should be treated fairly regarding their benefits and

16 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania memorialize the Congress to pass
1 H.R. 742; and be it further
