On June 6, 2007, a historic resolution was passed and a ceremony held to honor the "Monuments Men". Both the House and Senate passed resolutions to formally recognize, for the first time by the United States, the incredible achievement the Monuments Men achieved during World War II. The Award Ceremony was attended by Representatives Kay Granger (TX) and Steve Cohen (TN), Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (TX), and also ambassadors and Charge d'Affairs from ten of the thirteen nations with citizens who were Monuments Men. Four of the twelve living Monuments Men were in attendance, along with family members and friends.
