Bill Summary
Designates July 16 of each year as "Atomic Veterans Day" in New Jersey.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution designates July 16th of each year as "Atomic Veterans Day" in New Jersey to honor the significant contributions of Atomic Veterans, who are defined as U.S. military members involved in nuclear tests between 1945 and 1962, or who served in or near Hiroshima and Nagasaki during specific periods. The resolution acknowledges that these veterans, including many from New Jersey, participated in numerous atmospheric nuclear weapons tests and faced challenges in obtaining medical care and compensation due to secrecy laws, even after these laws were repealed by Congress in 1996. The designation aims to recognize their patriotic service during a critical time in national defense, and the Governor is requested to issue a proclamation encouraging the observance of this day with appropriate activities.
