The resolution highlights the significance of this milestone and the club's planned Fourth of July event at River Walk Park, which will serve as a gathering for citizens to celebrate and reflect on the principles of liberty, justice, and civic responsibility. As part of the celebration, the Columbia Rotary Club will present a "Declaration of Reverence," which emphasizes the importance of upholding the Constitution, protecting citizens' rights, and fostering community values.

The resolution commends the Columbia Rotary Club for its commitment to promoting civic pride and unity through this declaration, which addresses various social issues, including education, law enforcement, military service, and community service. It calls for recognition of the contributions of various groups, including teachers, first responders, and volunteers, while also advocating for mental health support for veterans and suicide prevention efforts. Ultimately, the resolution expresses gratitude for the club's role in fostering thoughtful patriotism and community engagement in Tennessee.
