Summary

HR55 is a resolution that honors the life and accomplishments of Mr. Oscar Woody Stanley from Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The bill acknowledges Mr. Stanley's contributions to the community, including his long-standing membership in the Kiwanis Club and his role in operating local businesses, such as Woodymac's restaurants.
