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 American military service members involved in nuclear tests between 1945 and 1962, or served in or near Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The resolution acknowledges that these veterans, numbering around 250,000 nationwide, participated in numerous atmospheric nuclear weapons tests and faced challenges in receiving medical care or compensation due to secrecy laws, even after these laws were repealed in 1996. The Governor is also requested to issue a proclamation encouraging the observation of this day with appropriate activities, recognizing the patriotic service of these veterans during a critical period in history.
