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 have played crucial roles in the nation's history. The resolution emphasizes Alabama's pride in hosting numerous military installations and its status as a veteran-friendly state, home to approximately 400,000 veterans and active-duty service members.

Furthermore, the resolution expresses gratitude for the service and sacrifices 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 the community 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.
