This Joint Resolution officially designates June 12th of each year as "Women Veterans Appreciation Day" in New Jersey, a state-level recognition to honor the significant service and sacrifices of women who have served in the United States Armed Forces, including the National Guard. The resolution highlights the historical and ongoing contributions of women in the military, from their early informal service to their current substantial presence across all branches, and acknowledges the growing population of women veterans in New Jersey and across the nation. It also respectfully requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation calling for public observance of this day with appropriate activities and programs, thereby emphasizing the state's pride in and respect for its women veterans.
