The resolution designates the period from November 5 to November 11 as Veterans Week in the State of Alabama, honoring the contributions and sacrifices of Veterans. This initiative is rooted in the historical recognition of Veterans, beginning with "Armistice Day" in 1938, which later evolved into "Veterans Day" in 1954 to acknowledge the service of those who fought in World War II and the Korean War. The resolution emphasizes the importance of Veterans in Alabama, many of whom continue to serve their communities after their military service.
The Alabama Legislature calls upon all residents to observe Veterans Week with appropriate programs and events that celebrate and express gratitude to Veterans for their honorable service in defense of the nation and the cause of freedom. This resolution reflects the state's commitment to recognizing the significant contributions of Veterans both in times of peace and conflict.
