Bill > SR111

This bill is a legislative resolution honoring smokejumpers, which are specially trained firefighters who parachute into remote areas to combat wildfires. The resolution acknowledges the significant contributions of smokejumpers to Montana and the nation, highlighting their important role in forest and rangeland management, community engagement, and national service. The bill recognizes the upcoming 85th anniversary of the first parachute jump to a forest fire, which occurred in July 1940, and celebrates the values of the National Smokejumper Association, including comradeship, education, pride in work, and loyalty. The resolution specifically recognizes the smokejumpers' diverse cultural backgrounds, their commitment to serving communities, and their choice to live and work in Montana. As a formal recognition, the bill requires the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the National Smokejumper Association, symbolically commemorating their decades of dedicated service and contribution to wildfire management and prevention.
