The resolution designates the period from November 5 to November 11 each year as Veterans Week in the State of Alabama. This initiative honors the tradition of recognizing and celebrating Veterans, which began in 1938 with "Armistice Day" and was later renamed "Veterans Day" in 1954 to acknowledge the sacrifices of those who served in World War II and the Korean War. The resolution emphasizes the significant contributions of Alabama's Veterans, both those who have served in the military and those who continue to serve their communities after their service.
The Alabama Legislature calls upon all residents to observe Veterans Week with appropriate programs and events that express gratitude and appreciation for the sacrifices made by Veterans in defense of the nation and the cause of freedom. This resolution reflects the state's commitment to honoring its Veterans and encourages community engagement in recognizing their service.
