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 notes Alabama's status as home to numerous military installations and a large population of veterans and active-duty service members, emphasizing the state's commitment to being veteran-friendly.

Furthermore, the resolution expresses gratitude for the service and sacrifice of all individuals who have served in these branches of the Armed Forces. It encourages military installations, veterans, and all Alabamians to participate in commemorative activities, including cake-cutting ceremonies on specific dates in 2025 to celebrate the 250th anniversaries of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. A copy of the resolution will be distributed to relevant military and veterans organizations to promote this observance and appreciation.
