Bill > SR298

This resolution commends Felix Maurizio, a World War II Navy veteran who is celebrating his 100th birthday in 2025, for his distinguished military service and community contributions. Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1925, Maurizio enlisted in the Navy in 1943 and earned the nickname "Mo" during his service. He participated in significant World War II military operations, including landing troops during the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, and later participating in landings at Iwo Jima and Okinawa in the Pacific Theater. After the war, he was part of the first ship carrying occupation troops to Japan and later served in recruiting and navigation training roles before retiring from the Navy in 1966. The resolution highlights Maurizio's post-military career with the United States Postal Service and his personal interests, including his love of baseball and family. The Senate of Virginia officially commends Maurizio for his service to the Commonwealth and the nation, and instructs the Senate Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution to be presented to him as an expression of admiration for his lifetime achievements.
