SR 6 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: honoring the U.S. service members who lost their lives during the initial actions of the ongoing conflict with Iran.

This Wisconsin Senate Resolution honors U.S. service members who died during the initial phase of the conflict with Iran, specifically those killed in strikes on Kuwait and Saudi Arabia or who died in an aircraft crash in Iraq. The measure formally acknowledges the bravery of seven fallen soldiers and extends condolences to their families while expressing gratitude to the approximately 400 Wisconsin National Guard members currently deployed in the Middle East. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to recognize the sacrifices made by American troops in the region. It focuses on commemorating specific individuals and supporting those still serving in harm's way during the ongoing military operations.

What changed between versions

Resolution Text Engrossed Resolution · 3 edits · Mar 17, 2026
MINOR
The bill was converted from a draft Senate Resolution to an Engrossed Resolution, finalizing its text for official adoption. The substantive content regarding the honoring of fallen service members and the specific details of the conflict remained consistent, though the order of the 'Whereas' clauses was rearranged and the document was reformatted for the final legislative record.
TECHNICAL

The document format was updated to reflect the 'Engrossed Resolution' status, including the addition of the Senate Chief Clerk's signature block and reorganization of the header and footer metadata.

The sequence of the 'Whereas' clauses was reordered; the clause listing the specific names of deceased service members was moved from the middle of the text to the end, just before the final 'Resolved' clauses.

Multiple blank lines and draft-specific metadata headers were removed to clean up the text for the final version.
