The Senate resolution honors St. Cloud StandDown for its 25 years of dedicated service to veterans in central Minnesota. Established in 1998, the organization provides essential support to homeless veterans and those transitioning from Veterans Affairs facilities. The term "stand down" reflects a practice from the Vietnam War, where soldiers were given a chance to recuperate. St. Cloud StandDown operates under the motto "Veterans Helping Veterans," with a staff comprised entirely of veterans and volunteers, ensuring inclusivity for all veterans regardless of their background.

Over the years, St. Cloud StandDown has assisted an average of 780 veterans annually, addressing their needs for housing, employment, and clothing. The organization also collaborates with the Frontline Food Pantry, delivering over 800 food boxes to veterans in need, and supports the Lady Veterans Boutique, which has been providing resources and a safe space for female veterans and military spouses since 1999. The resolution concludes by congratulating St. Cloud StandDown for its exemplary service and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare an official copy of the resolution for the organization.
