A RESOLUTION adjourning the Senate in honor and memory of the life and sacrifice of Staff Sergeant Benjamin Pennington, who paid the ultimate price in service to our nation.

This resolution directs the Kentucky Senate to adjourn in honor of Staff Sergeant Benjamin Pennington, a U.S. Army soldier who died from injuries sustained during an attack on a military base in Saudi Arabia. The bill formally recognizes his service as a member of the elite 1st Space Brigade and acknowledges his posthumous promotion to staff sergeant. It requires the Senate Clerk to send a copy of the resolution to Senator Matthew Deneen for presentation to Pennington's family. The measure is a commemorative action with no operational policy changes, focusing solely on honoring the deceased soldier's sacrifice.
