The resolution recognizes The Honor Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting United States Special Operations Forces (SOF) veterans in transitioning to civilian careers. The foundation aims to impact approximately 60,000 active duty personnel by providing essential career support. It highlights the upcoming Fourth Annual Swim for SOF event in San Diego on September 14, 2024, which serves as a high-performance athletic challenge that embodies the spirit of the Special Operations Forces.
Additionally, the resolution commends retired Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander Richard Clifford for his significant contributions to The Honor Foundation. With a distinguished military career spanning 31 years, including combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Clifford has actively participated in and advocated for the foundation's initiatives, particularly the Swim for SOF. The resolution expresses appreciation for both The Honor Foundation and LCDR Clifford, wishing them continued success in their future endeavors.
