Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 9, 2025, as Yellow Ribbon Day in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim April 9, 2025, as Yellow Ribbon Day in New York State, honoring military service members, particularly prisoners of war and those missing in action. The resolution traces its origins to a 2006 legislative initiative by Carol Pingelski Hotaling, known as "The Yellow Ribbon Lady," and is specifically inspired by US Army Staff Sergeant Maupin, the first POW of the Iraq War, who was captured on April 9, 2004. The document highlights the profound sacrifices of military personnel, emphasizing their courage in defending democratic principles, protecting freedoms, and risking their lives during times of conflict. By requesting the governor to recognize this day, the resolution aims to raise awareness, promote unity, and express gratitude to service members who have served or continue to serve the United States, particularly those who have endured extreme hardships such as being prisoners of war or going missing in action.
