Bill > SR0424

This resolution, adopted by the Tennessee Senate, encourages all Tennesseans to acknowledge and honor the contributions of Revolutionary War veterans to the principles of democracy, individual freedom, human rights, and the history of the state, particularly those veterans buried within and near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The resolution highlights the sacrifices made by these individuals during the American Revolution, noting that many veterans settled in East Tennessee, and some had their land used for the park's establishment. It emphasizes the importance of remembering their bravery, selflessness, and patriotism as the nation approaches its 250th birthday.
