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 calls for the commemoration of the 250th anniversaries of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps in 2025 through various activities, including cake-cutting ceremonies on specific dates for each branch. It expresses gratitude for the service and sacrifice of all who have served in these military branches and encourages participation from military personnel, veterans, and the broader Alabama community in these commemorative events. A copy of the resolution will be distributed to relevant military and veterans organizations to facilitate this observance.
