This resolution expresses support for designating September 12, 2025, as "The Day of the Bible" in the United States, commemorating the historic moment in 1782 when Congress approved the first complete English-language Bible printed in America, known as the "Aitken Bible" or "The Bible of the Revolution". The resolution acknowledges the Bible's foundational role in shaping the moral, cultural, and spiritual heritage of the United States, emphasizing its significance during the American Revolutionary War as a symbol of national resilience and unity. It calls on Congress to support this designation and encourages schools, civic institutions, and community organizations to observe the day with educational and cultural programs that highlight the Bible's historical and cultural importance. Furthermore, the resolution requests that the President issue an annual proclamation designating "The Day of the Bible", inviting Americans to reflect on the Bible's enduring impact on the nation's cultural identity and its principles of liberty, equality, and justice.
