HR 151: Archibald Bulloch Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution; 61st anniversary; recognize

This House resolution is a ceremonial statement rather than a change to Georgia law. It recounts the history of Georgia's founding by James Oglethorpe, the establishment of Bulloch County in 1796, and the 1964 founding of the Archibald Bulloch Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution with its 17 charter members. The resolution formally commends the chapter for more than six decades of work on historic preservation, education, and patriotism, including helping women research genealogy tied to American Revolutionary War patriots. It recognizes the chapter's 61st anniversary alongside Georgia Day, to be celebrated with an open luncheon in Statesboro on February 13, 2025, and directs the Clerk of the House to send the chapter a copy of the resolution.
