The resolution commemorates the 250th anniversary of the establishment of the U.S. Navy, highlighting its historical significance and the contributions of veterans, particularly those residing at the Vermont Veterans Home. It traces the origins of the Navy back to 1775, when the Continental Congress took steps to create a naval force to protect American interests during the Revolutionary War. The resolution notes the Navy's evolution, including its temporary dissolution and subsequent re-establishment in 1794 due to new maritime threats.

In recognition of this milestone, the resolution expresses pride in the service of U.S. Navy veterans and acknowledges the various commemorative activities taking place, such as the issuance of special postage stamps. The General Assembly resolves to officially commemorate this anniversary and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the Vermont Veterans Home, honoring the legacy of those who served in the Navy.
