HR 1763: Men and women of the United States Armed Forces; honoring the courage, service, and sacrifice; honor

This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it formally recognizes the courage, professionalism, and dedication of members of the United States Armed Forces, both active-duty and veterans, and acknowledges the sacrifices made by their families, including spouses, parents, and children. The resolution notes that Georgia is home to many service members, veterans, and military families who contribute to their communities. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the public and the press.

• Formally honors the courage, professionalism, and selfless service of members of the United States Armed Forces on behalf of the Georgia House of Representatives.
• Expresses gratitude to military families, including parents, spouses, and children, for their support and sacrifice.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies of the resolution available to the public and the press.
• Creates no new law, funding, or program; it is a symbolic statement of appreciation rather than a binding legal change.

Active-duty members of the United States Armed Forces, veterans, and their families living in Georgia are the subject of this resolution. It also involves the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who must distribute copies of the resolution publicly.

Because this is a ceremonial resolution rather than a law, it does not change anyone's rights, duties, or funding. Its practical effect is limited to a formal, public expression of appreciation for service members and their families, distributed through the Clerk's office.

• The whereas clauses lay out the reasoning for the resolution, citing the service, danger, and family sacrifice associated with military duty.
• The resolving clause formally honors service members and thanks military families for their support.
• A further resolution directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available for public and press distribution.
