Bill > SCR38

This resolution recognizes Women Warriors by proclaiming the week of March 16-22, 2025, as Women's Military History Week in California, honoring the significant and often overlooked contributions of women to the United States military. The resolution highlights the extensive history of women's military service, including their roles in conflicts from the American Revolutionary War through modern conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and emphasizes their achievements despite historical barriers such as the 1994 combat role restrictions. It specifically notes that women have served in diverse and critical roles, including as combat pilots, special operations personnel, intelligence gatherers, medical staff, and spies, with over 300,000 women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan alone. The resolution also celebrates milestones like the lifting of the combat ban in 2013, the appointment of the first female four-star general, and the growing number of women serving in combat and special operations roles, ultimately encouraging Californians to recognize and honor the courage, resilience, and sacrifices of women warriors throughout American military history.
