Recognizing the State of Michigan’s contributions to the United States on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the Union.
Whereas, on January 26, 1837, Michigan became the 26th State of the United States;
Whereas Michigan and its residents embody the ideals of the Founding and have significantly contributed to the success and advancement of the United States;
Whereas July 4, 2026, is the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence; and
Whereas the 250th anniversary provides an opportunity to reflect on the Founding of the United States and the lasting impact that Michiganders have made on the United States since its entrance into the Union: Now, therefore, be it
That the House of Representatives—
(1)
recognizes the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence;
(2)
encourages all United States citizens to reflect on the ideals of the Founders and their fight for independence; and
(3)
celebrates the enduring impact that Michiganders have made on the success of the United States.
