Bill > SJR92

This joint resolution designates May 1st as "Silver Star Service Banner Day" in New Jersey, a day dedicated to honoring and remembering service members and veterans who have been wounded or become ill during their military service. The resolution recognizes the Silver Star Families of America, an organization that supports wounded and ill service members, and highlights the Silver Star Service Banner as a symbol that acknowledges the physical, emotional, and financial sacrifices made by military personnel. Officially recognized by the United States Congress in 2010, the resolution calls on the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing the day and encourages public officials and citizens to participate in appropriate activities and programs that commemorate the contributions and bravery of military service members. By establishing this annual observance, New Jersey aims to ensure that the sacrifices of its veterans are never forgotten and to express gratitude for their service to the nation.
