The resolution commemorates the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, which traces its origins back to June 14, 1775, when the Second Continental Congress established the Continental Army. This resolution highlights the selection of George Washington as the commander-in-chief and emphasizes the Army's enduring motto, "This We'll Defend," reflecting its commitment to protecting the nation's freedom and democracy. The resolution notes that while the Continental Army was disbanded after the Treaty of Paris in 1783, June 14 remains recognized as the Army's birthday, with various commemorative events planned, including the issuance of special postage stamps and coins.

Additionally, the resolution honors the U.S. Army veterans residing at the Vermont Veterans Home in Bennington, which has been providing care for veterans since 1884. As of 2025, the home houses 35 residents and seven staff members who are all honorably discharged U.S. Army veterans. The General Assembly expresses its recognition of both the Army's significant milestone and the contributions of these veterans, directing the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the Vermont Veterans Home.
