       Whereas, on March 2, 2025, Delta Air Lines turns 100 years 
     old, becoming the first United States airline to reach the 
     centenarian milestone;
       Whereas Delta Air Lines was founded on March 2, 1925, as 
     Huff Daland Dusters--the world's first aerial crop-dusting 
     company;
       Whereas Delta Air Service and the airline's first flights 
     took off 4 years later;
       Whereas, in 2025, Delta Air Lines's team of 100,000 people 
     supports up to 5,000 daily flights serving more than 
     200,000,000 travelers per year;
       Whereas Delta Air Lines maintains hubs from coast to coast, 
     including in Georgia, Massachusetts, New York, Washington, 
     California, Michigan, Minnesota, and Utah;
       Whereas, with thousands of peak-day departures to more than 
     290 global destinations on 6 continents, Delta Air Lines 
     connects millions of people around the globe to and through 
     the United States daily and helps keep the United States a 
     top country for business and the economy of the United States 
     strong;
       Whereas, for the past 100 years, the mission of Delta Air 
     Lines to connect the world has included a commitment to being 
     a strong partner in the communities where its people live, 
     work, and serve; and

     people to the world and to each other; and
       (2) commemorates the centennial of Delta Air Lines.
