The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning the American Supporting Americans program and the City’s adoption of the 4^th BN 5^th Special Forces Group.

Background

The Adopt-A-Unit program was created by the non-profit organization “America Supporting Americans” in 1968 as a mechanism for American cities to support military men and women and their families.  The City of Franklin first became involved in the program in 2004 with the adoption of Delta Company (1^st Battalion, 327^th Infantry, 1^st Brigade, “D’ Company, 101^st Airborne Division).

In 2015, the City of Franklin adopted the 4^th Battalion, 5^th Special Forces Group A by proclamation.  Resolution 2019-35 makes the adoption an official part of the America Supporting Americans program.

Financial Impact

There is no direct financial obligation created by this action.
