This resolution, passed by the Tennessee Senate, formally honors the Tennessee Society Sons of the American Revolution (TNSSAR) for its 135 years of patriotic service and contributions to the state, coinciding with the upcoming 250th anniversary of American Independence. The TNSSAR is an organization whose members are descendants of patriots who fought in the Revolutionary War, and it actively works to preserve American history and promote ideals of patriotism, courage, and sacrifice. The resolution highlights the TNSSAR's community service, including assisting veterans, marking historical gravesites, participating in civic events, and donating flags to schools through its "America 250 Flags for Freedom" project, which has provided over 4,000 flags to classrooms. It also acknowledges the distinguished members of the TNSSAR throughout its history and its ongoing efforts to recognize good citizenship, bravery, law enforcement service, outstanding students, and JROTC cadets through various awards and competitions, as well as its annual commemoration of Patriots' Day.
