Recognizing the positive effect of veterans outreach activities known as Stand Down events on the lives of homeless veterans and commending the organizers of Stand Down events across the Nation.
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 109th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
28 cosponsors · 26 D, 2 R
20 signed on when it was introduced; the rest joined later. Cosponsors who withdrew aren't shown.
Recognizes that each generation's sacrifice for the cause of freedom in the world extracts a toll that lingers long after the battles end, and that veterans outreach activities known as "Stand Down events" restore the dignity and hope of the Nation's homeless veterans.
