This bill designates April 27th as "Ulysses S. Grant Day" in Missouri, creating a new section in Missouri's state statutes to recognize the significant historical figure. The legislation encourages Missouri citizens to participate in events and activities that commemorate Ulysses S. Grant, highlighting his local connections to the state, specifically noting his time in St. Louis after graduating from West Point and before the Civil War. Grant, who was a prominent Civil War general and later became the eighteenth president of the United States, is honored through this commemorative day. By establishing this annual observance, the bill aims to promote awareness of Grant's life, military service, and presidential legacy, while also celebrating his ties to Missouri.
