Bill > HCR12

This resolution honors the Delaware National Guard, one of the oldest state government institutions dating back to 1655, by recognizing its long history of service and the critical role played by the National Guard Association of Delaware. The resolution highlights the Guard's contributions as a force of part-time, volunteer citizen soldiers who have consistently served during wars, civil emergencies, natural disasters, and global challenges like the pandemic. Specifically, the resolution acknowledges the National Guard Association of Delaware's representation of over 2,000 officers who have defended the state and nation, advocated for military upgrades including tactical aircraft, modern facilities, and personnel increases, and demonstrated remarkable readiness to respond to crises both globally and within the state. The Delaware House of Representatives and Senate formally express their appreciation for the outstanding leadership, service, and advocacy provided by the National Guard Association of Delaware's members, and resolve to present official copies of the resolution to the organization's Board of Trustees as a gesture of recognition and gratitude.
