This resolution designates May 2, 2025, as "United States Foreign Service Day" to recognize and honor the men and women who have served or are currently serving in the United States Foreign Service. The resolution highlights the Foreign Service's long history, dating back to the Rogers Act of 1924, and emphasizes the critical roles its personnel play in protecting and promoting U.S. interests globally. These roles include ensuring national security, providing assistance to U.S. citizens overseas, preserving peace and economic prosperity, promoting human rights and democratic values, developing international markets, providing humanitarian aid, and supporting economic development. The resolution acknowledges the increasing risks and dangers faced by Foreign Service members, many of whom have died while serving their country. It calls on the American people to reflect on the service and sacrifice of Foreign Service employees through appropriate ceremonies and activities, and formally honors their dedicated and important contributions to the United States.
