The resolution from the Alaska State Legislature encourages the United States Congress to designate the year 2025 as the "Year of the Soldier" in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the United States Army. It highlights the Army's significant historical contributions to the nation, tracing its origins back to June 14, 1775, and detailing its pivotal roles in various conflicts, including the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and both World Wars. The resolution emphasizes the Army's ongoing importance to national security, particularly in Alaska, where key installations like Fort Wainwright and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson play vital roles in military readiness and the local economy.

The resolution also acknowledges the resilience, courage, and leadership of active duty soldiers and veterans, who have not only served in the military but have also made substantial contributions to their communities. By calling for the designation of 2025 as the Year of the Soldier, the Alaska State Legislature aims to honor the legacy of the United States Army and inspire future generations to serve with honor, reflecting on the Army's enduring motto, "This We'll Defend." Copies of the resolution will be sent to key federal officials, including the President and members of Congress, to advocate for this recognition.
