This is a commemorative resolution honoring the 245th anniversary of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, which took place on March 15, 1781, in North Carolina during the Revolutionary War. The battle was a major engagement in the Southern Theater, featuring roughly 4,500 American troops against 2,100 British forces. Although the British technically held the battlefield, they suffered devastating losses—losing about a quarter of their forces in a single day—while American General Nathanael Greene successfully withdrew his army intact. This "pyrrhic victory" for the British was strategically significant because it prevented them from destroying Greene's army and ultimately led to their defeat in the Carolinas and later at Yorktown. The resolution recognizes the bravery of the American and North Carolinian soldiers who fought there and acknowledges the battle's crucial role in America's path to independence. The House also encourages all Americans to visit the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, which was established in 1917 to preserve this historic battlefield and educate visitors about this important moment in American history.

Recognizing the 245th anniversary of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse and encouraging all United States citizens to visit the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park in Guilford County, North Carolina.
