Congress makes the following findings: The United States is a country of great honor and integrity. The United States has made a sacred promise to members of the Armed Forces deployed overseas in defense of the United States that their sacrifice and service will never be forgotten. The United States can never thank the proud members of the Armed Forces enough for their sacrifice and service on behalf of the United States. It is the sense of Congress that— abandoning the search efforts for members of the Armed Forces who are missing or captured in the line of duty now or in the future is unacceptable; the United States has a responsibility to keep the promises made to members of the Armed Forces deployed overseas in defense of the United States, including the promise of the United States Soldier’s Creed and the Warrior Ethos, which state that I will never leave a fallen comrade ; and while the United States continues to transition leadership roles in combat operations in Afghanistan to the people of Afghanistan, the United States must continue to fulfill these important promises to any member of the Armed Forces who is in a missing status or captured as a result of service in Afghanistan now or in the future.
