MINOR

This is a formatting-only change between two versions of HCR 214, a Vermont House concurrent resolution celebrating Irish American contributions to the American Revolution. The substantive text of the resolution is identical in both versions; only the layout, headers, and page structure were updated to reflect the official adopted format.

TECHNICAL

Page headers, footers, and legislative tracking numbers (R-261, VT LEG #388024 v.1) were removed and replaced with the standard official format: State of Vermont, House of Representatives, Montpelier Vermont, Concurrent House Resolution H.C.R. 214.

Minor line-break and spacing differences in the body text (e.g., 'aide-de-camp' vs 'aide- de-camp') due to reflowing the text into a new layout.
