## Text

House Resolution 1763
By: Representatives Griffin of the 149th, Park of the 107th, Hugley of the 141st, Baker of the
64th, Jackson of the 128th, and others
A RESOLUTION
Honoring the courage, service, and sacrifice of the men and women of the United States
Armed Forces; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the United States Armed Forces have a long and proud history of defending the
freedoms and security of this nation; and
WHEREAS, men and women in uniform serve with courage, professionalism, and dedication
in regions across the world, often under dangerous and uncertain conditions; and
WHEREAS, members of the Armed Forces willingly place themselves in harm's way in
defense of the United States and its interests; and
WHEREAS, military service is not borne by service members alone but also by their
families, including parents, spouses, and children, who support them with strength and
sacrifice; and
WHEREAS, the State of Georgia is home to many active-duty service members, veterans,
and military families who contribute greatly to the strength of our communities; and
WHEREAS, the people of this state are deeply grateful for the service and sacrifice of all
members of the United States Armed Forces, past and present; and
WHEREAS, it is appropriate that this body express its respect, appreciation, and support for
those who serve in uniform, without regard to specific military actions or policy decisions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that
the members of this body hereby honor the courage, professionalism, and selfless service of
the men and women of the United States Armed Forces as well as express their deepest
gratitude to military families, whose support and sacrifice make such service possible.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the
public and the press.

## Summaries written by Georgia Commons

The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the text above and is not part of the resolution. Quote the text, not the summary.

A Georgia House resolution honors the courage, service, and sacrifice of men and women in the United States Armed Forces and expresses gratitude to their families.

### Plain-language summary

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.

### What it does

- 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.

### Who it affects

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.

### Why it matters

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.

### Key provisions

- 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.
