Memorials, Recognition - Thomas Allen "T.A." Bryan, Sr. -

SJR 474 is a ceremonial resolution honoring Thomas Allen "T.A." Bryan, Sr., for his lifetime of community service in Lebanon, Tennessee. It recognizes his work founding Cedarcroft Home (a shelter for homeless men), founding the Faith Rescue Mission, and his decades of involvement with local churches, charities, and civic organizations. The resolution does not create new laws or policies; it is a formal expression of appreciation by the Tennessee General Assembly. It was approved by both legislative chambers and signed by the Governor in May 2025. This resolution directly affects no individuals or entities through legal requirements, as it serves only to publicly acknowledge Mr. Bryan's contributions.
