Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill SJR 91 changes the designation from "Alabama's first veteran" to "one of Alabama's first veterans," recognizing John Wade Keyes alongside other early veterans. This shift is important because it acknowledges the contributions of multiple individuals rather than singularly attributing the title to one person. By making this change, the bill emphasizes a collective recognition of early veterans' sacrifices.
