This joint resolution, passed by both the Tennessee Senate and House of Representatives, honors the sacrifices of Revolutionary War veterans, particularly those buried within or near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, as the United States approaches its 250th birthday. The resolution acknowledges that many of these veterans, who fought for the freedoms enjoyed today, settled in East Tennessee, with some even having their land later used for the national park. It emphasizes the importance of remembering their bravery, selflessness, and patriotism, recognizing their crucial role in the founding of the nation and the establishment of democratic ideals. The resolution also outlines the process for preparing and presenting copies of this honor.
