Honoring the life and the legacy of General Colin L. Powell.

House Resolution 748 is a commemorative measure intended to formally recognize the life, military service, and public career of the late General Colin L. Powell. The resolution expresses the House of Representatives’ appreciation for his leadership as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of State, while offering official condolences to his family. As a simple resolution, it serves as a symbolic gesture of national respect rather than a law that changes federal regulations or impacts the daily lives of citizens.
