Bill Summary
This resolution designates April 27th of each year as "Ulysses S. Grant Day" to promote greater public appreciation of the invaluable contributions made by Ulysses S. Grant. Ulysses S. Grant bravely served in the United States military through two treacherous wars. As the President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant continued to fight for peace, prosperity, and equal rights. History remembers Ulysses S. Grant not only as an important political leader, but an impenetrable force against tyranny for all Americans. Ulysses S. Grant also brought attention to the Jersey Shore, as he and numerous presidents thereafter vacationed in Long Branch. It is fitting and proper for the State of New Jersey to honor President Ulysses S. Grant for his many outstanding contributions to this State and the United States.
