The resolution acknowledges a statewide initiative proposed by the Alabama Semiquincentennial Commission to honor veterans in anticipation of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026. It highlights the historical significance of the United States Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, which were established in 1775, and recognizes their vital contributions to the nation’s security and prosperity. The resolution also emphasizes Alabama's status as a veteran-friendly state, home to numerous military installations and a significant population of veterans and active-duty service members.

Furthermore, the resolution expresses gratitude for the service and sacrifice of those in the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, and calls for commemorative activities to celebrate their 250th anniversaries in 2025. It encourages participation from military installations, veterans, and all Alabamians in these observances, including cake-cutting ceremonies on specific dates for each branch. A copy of the resolution will be distributed to relevant military and veterans organizations to facilitate this celebration.
