Designating July 2025 As "american Patriotism Month" In The State Of Delaware.
Summary
Senate Concurrent Resolution 101 designates July 2025 as “American Patriotism Month” in Delaware. The resolution is largely ceremonial and declarative: it states that the month should be used to honor and reflect on the contributions, achievements, and ideals that have shaped the United States, and to encourage civic engagement and education about American history and values.
The resolution includes a series of “whereas” clauses highlighting major themes and milestones in U.S. history, including the American Revolution, the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Civil War, the National Parks System, the World Wars, the civil rights movement, the Apollo 11 moon landing, and service in the Vietnam War. It also recognizes the roles of military personnel, civil rights leaders, public servants, pioneers, entrepreneurs, and everyday citizens in the nation’s development.
Impact
SCR 101 does not create or amend substantive Delaware law, impose regulatory requirements, or appropriate funds. Its legal effect is limited to officially designating July 2025 as American Patriotism Month in the State of Delaware, which may be used by state and local officials, schools, and civic organizations for observances, educational programming, and commemorative activities.
Sentiment
The available voting history suggests strong support and little to no opposition. The Senate passed the resolution on third reading by a 19-0 vote, indicating unanimous approval among those voting. No committee transcripts are available, and the House third-reading entry shows no recorded yeas or nays in the provided context, so the clearest signal is that the measure was treated as a noncontroversial commemorative resolution.
Contention
There is no documented substantive contention in the provided materials. Because the resolution is symbolic and celebratory rather than regulatory, any disagreement would likely be limited to the appropriateness of the designation itself or the framing of patriotism and historical themes, but no such objections appear in the available votes or transcripts. The bill’s sponsors and listed co-sponsors indicate broad bipartisan support.
