The Montana Senate has passed a resolution designating the week of April 14, 2025, as "Two Lights for Tomorrow Week." This initiative aims to honor the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States and to remind citizens of the significance of the nation's founding principles. The resolution highlights the historical events of April 18, 1775, when Paul Revere and other riders alerted communities of impending danger, symbolized by the two lanterns that became a representation of American vigilance and unity. The resolution emphasizes the importance of community and shared responsibility, drawing parallels between the past and present calls for unity and service.
As part of the commemoration, the Montana Senate encourages citizens and organizations to display two lights in public spaces on the night of April 18, 2025, as a symbol of reflection on the nation's journey and the sacrifices made for independence. The resolution also promotes a day of community service on April 19, 2025, to foster understanding of the historical significance of these events and to inspire collective efforts toward a better future.
