Senate Joint Resolution 85, sponsored by Senator Roberts, honors the memory of the Donaldson brothers from Dickson County, Tennessee, who are being posthumously awarded The Ambassador For Peace Medal by the Republic of South Korea. The resolution highlights the brothers' distinguished military service during the Korean War, where they served simultaneously in the U.S. Armed Forces, setting an American record for that conflict. The brothers—Thomas Harvel, Ernest Melvin, Arie Gafford, and Arthur Preston Donaldson—each served in various capacities during significant military conflicts, including World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of recognizing and honoring the sacrifices made by the Donaldson brothers and all Tennesseans who have served in the military to protect the freedoms and liberties of the United States. It expresses gratitude for their bravery and dedication, stating that while no tribute can fully convey the state's appreciation, it is fitting to commemorate their contributions to American heritage and ideals. The resolution concludes with a formal commendation of the brothers' courageous service as exemplary citizens of Tennessee.
