Commemorates christening of USS John Basilone.
This Assembly Resolution (AR 24) commemorates the christening of the USS John Basilone, a U.S. Navy destroyer named in honor of New Jersey native Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone. It honors Basilone's World War II service, including his Medal of Honor and Navy Cross awards for actions at Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima, and his childhood ties to Raritan Borough, New Jersey. The resolution has no policy impact - it is purely ceremonial, with copies to be sent to the Secretary of the Navy and the Basilone Memorial Foundation. It does not affect any individuals or create new laws.
