While HJR685 serves primarily as a commendation, it does spotlight the underlying need for support and recognition of auxiliary organizations like the Civil Air Patrol.

However, it may also raise discussions surrounding the allocation of state resources and whether additional support mechanisms should be established for volunteer organizations serving in critical roles, especially during emergencies.
