This resolution commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Robert W. Jack Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1322, the oldest VFW post in Arkansas, which was established on February 13, 1925, in Van Buren. The post was named in honor of Robert W. Jack, who lost his life during World War I, and has since served as a vital support system for veterans from various conflicts, including the Spanish-American War and World War I. Over the past century, the post has evolved into a community hub, providing essential services and programs to veterans and their families, including mental health support, food assistance, and youth engagement initiatives.

The resolution highlights the post's ongoing commitment to adapt its services to meet the changing needs of veterans in the area, as well as its ambitious Vision 2025 project, which aims to enhance facilities and services for veterans. This includes plans for a comprehensive health clinic, a community room, and a historical museum, among other features. The Senate expresses its recognition of the post's significant contributions to the community and its role as a model for other VFW posts across the nation. Upon adoption, a copy of the resolution will be provided to the post's commander, Matthew Hicks.
