This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate honoring the USO, the nonprofit that supports U.S. service members and their families, as it marks 85 years since its founding on February 4, 1941. The resolution recounts the USO's history, its formation from six service agencies including the YMCA and the Salvation Army, and its ongoing work at military installations in Georgia such as Fort Benning, Fort Stewart, Fort Gordon, Robins Air Force Base, and Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base. The resolution does not change any Georgia law or create any program or funding. It simply has the Senate formally congratulate and commend the USO and directs the Secretary of the Senate's office to send a copy of the resolution to the organization.
