The resolution designates April 27th of each year as Ulysses S. Grant Day in the State of New Jersey, honoring the significant contributions of Ulysses S. Grant to both the state and the nation. Born on April 27, 1822, Grant served with distinction in the Mexican War and later became a key figure in the Civil War, ultimately being appointed as the commanding general of all Union armies by President Lincoln. His leadership was instrumental in securing victory for the Union, and he later served two terms as President of the United States, where he championed civil rights, the ratification of the 15th Amendment, and the establishment of Yellowstone as the first national park.

The resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe Ulysses S. Grant Day with appropriate events and activities. It emphasizes Grant's legacy as a leader who fought for peace, equality, and unity, as well as his connection to Long Branch, New Jersey, where he vacationed and made significant memories. The resolution aims to promote greater public appreciation for Grant's enduring impact on American history and his contributions to the state of New Jersey.
