HR1763: HR1763 Men and women of the United States Armed Forces; honoring the courage, service, and sacrifice; honor

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives is a ceremonial statement rather than a change to state law. It recognizes the long history of the United States Armed Forces in defending the country and praises the courage and professionalism of service members who serve in dangerous conditions around the world. The resolution also acknowledges that military families, including spouses, parents, and children, share in the sacrifices of service. It states that the House honors service members and thanks military families, and it directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and the press. It does not create any new program, funding, or legal requirement.
