The resolution expresses the General Assembly's heartfelt gratitude for the exemplary service of the 1175th Transportation Company and recognizes their selfless commitment to both their country and the state of Tennessee. It calls for an appropriate copy of the resolution to be prepared for presentation, ensuring that the contributions of these soldiers are formally acknowledged and celebrated.
