HCR172 is a concurrent resolution introduced by Senator Menendez, aimed at paying tribute to the life of U.S. Army Specialist Charles J. Wren, who died in service on April 16, 2011. The resolution acknowledges the immense sacrifice of servicemen and servicewomen, especially Specialist Wren, who fulfilled his duties with courage and dedication while serving in Afghanistan.

However, any discussions that may arise could pertain to the broader context of military service recognition and the adequacy of current measures to honor veterans.
