This resolution commemorates the tragic mass shooting that occurred on February 14, 2018, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where a 19-year-old former student killed 17 people and wounded 17 others during a 6-minute assault. The resolution provides a detailed account of the shooting, naming each of the 17 victims and highlighting their individual characteristics, achievements, and potential, while also acknowledging the extraordinary acts of courage displayed by students, faculty, and staff during the incident. By designating February 14, 2025, as "Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Memorial Day," the resolution seeks to honor the memory of those lost, recognize the profound impact of the tragedy on the community, and celebrate the resilience of the survivors who transformed their grief into advocacy for school safety reforms. The document also resolves to make a copy of the resolution available to the families of the victims as a symbolic gesture of remembrance and support.
