Introduced on June 10, 2025 by Jerry Moran
Passed/agreed to in Senate: Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent.
Recognizes and honors the 250th anniversary of the United States Army, thanking soldiers—past and present—for their service, valor, and professionalism. Calls on the people of the United States to observe the anniversary with programs, ceremonies, and activities celebrating the Army’s history, values, and continued readiness.
On June 14, 1775, the Second Continental Congress authorized the establishment of the Continental Army.
The same pursuit of personal freedom that led to creation of the Army also led to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, which realize the nation’s fundamental principles and values.
For about 250 years the Army’s central mission has been to fight and win the wars of the United States.
The United States Army flag carries 190 campaign streamers that testify to the valor, commitment, and professionalism of soldiers who have served.
The preamble lists notable battles (Yorktown, Gettysburg, Cantigny, Normandy, the Bulge, Okinawa, Inchon, la Drang, 73 Easting, Fallujah, and Kamdesh) in which Army soldiers have fought with courage and distinction.
Primary effects are symbolic and public-facing. Active-duty and veteran Army personnel receive formal recognition and public thanks; military families and veterans are publicly honored. The resolution asks citizens and organizations to hold commemorative events, which may prompt local ceremonies, museum programs, or educational activities. There are no direct policy, budgetary, regulatory, or operational impacts on federal agencies, state or local governments, or private entities.
