This resolution posthumously commends Private First Class Noah C. "Pete" Reeves for his service to the United States during World War II. Pfc. Reeves was killed in action on December 6, 1944, in the Hürtgen Forest near Vossenack, Germany, and his remains were not recovered after the war. He was declared "non-recoverable" in 1951. However, in 2021, a historian from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) suggested that unidentified remains interred in the Ardennes American Cemetery could be those of Reeves. Following this lead, scientists conducted DNA analysis and other forensic methods to positively identify the remains as belonging to Pfc. Reeves.

The resolution recounts Pfc. Reeves's life before the war, his enlistment, and his character as a respected member of his community in Lawrence County. It also describes the battle in which he was killed as the longest single battle the U.S. Army has ever fought, with significant casualties on both sides. The resolution serves to honor Pfc. Reeves's sacrifice and to assure veterans that their service and sacrifices will not be forgotten. The Alabama Legislature resolves to recognize, commend, and thank Pfc. Reeves for his dedication and sacrifice, and a copy of the resolution is to be delivered to his family as a token of gratitude and recognition of his ultimate sacrifice.
