A RESOLUTION

Recognizing July 2025 as American History Month; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, an awareness of American history is critical to the preservation of this American Republic, the recognition of the God-given rights of all men and women, and the continuation of such values as were embodied by the founders of this nation; and

WHEREAS, the Second Continental Congress declared the absolution of all allegiance to the British Crown by the United Colonies on July 4, 1776; and

WHEREAS, John Adams saw fit that "July 1776 [would] be the most memorable Epocha in the History of America" and that "it ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade…from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forever more"; and

WHEREAS, four distinguished Founding Fathers—John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe—passed away in the month of July; and

WHEREAS, the month of July should continue to declare the principles of the founding of American independence for all future generations.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body recognize July 2025 as American History Month and encourage all residents to be lifelong learners of the legacy great American men and women have left behind.

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.
