Senate Resolution 51, sponsored by Massey, designates February 22, 2025, as George Washington Day in Tennessee. The resolution honors George Washington as the Founding Father of the United States, recognizing his significant contributions, including his leadership as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, his role in drafting the U.S. Constitution, and his presidency, where he established key principles of governance and the peaceful transfer of power. Washington's commitment to civilian authority, religious freedom, and the moral acknowledgment of slavery further exemplify his legacy.

The resolution encourages Tennessee residents to celebrate Washington's enduring contributions by reflecting on his ideals and visiting Mount Vernon, which offers educational opportunities to learn about his life and principles. It emphasizes the importance of Washington's example for future generations, as articulated by President John Adams upon Washington's death. The resolution concludes with a directive for an appropriate copy to be prepared for presentation.
