MS HC47

Officially recognizes the service and sacrifice of 11 African-American soldiers from the 333rd Field Artillery Battalion ("Wereth 11") who were massacred in Wereth, Belgium, on December 17, 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge.

Provides special posthumous honor to three of the soldiers who were from Mississippi: Mager Bradley, Thomas Forte, and James Leatherwood.

Notes that the 1949 Senate Armed Services Committee subcommittee report on Battle of the Bulge atrocities omitted the massacre of these 11 soldiers despite documenting 12 other massacre locations.

Urges the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services to correct the omission in the 1949 report and appropriately recognize the "Wereth 11."

Directs copies of the resolution to be sent to the Mississippi Adjutant General, U.S. Secretary of Defense, the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Capitol Press Corps.
