Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2025, as the Month of the Military Child in the State of New York
AI Summary
This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim April 2025 as the Month of the Military Child in New York State, recognizing the significant contributions and challenges faced by military children. The resolution highlights that there are over 1.6 million military children nationwide and nearly 44,000 in New York, who frequently face unique challenges such as moving every two to three years and adapting to new schools and support networks. It emphasizes the symbolism of the dandelion, which represents military children's ability to grow and bloom anywhere, and notes the state's connection to military installations like Fort Drum, which houses the 10th Mountain Division. The resolution also references Purple Up Day on April 15, 2025, when communities are encouraged to wear purple (a color combining all military branch colors) to show support for military children. Established in 1986 by former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, the Month of the Military Child aims to recognize and celebrate the strength, sacrifices, and resilience of military children, who play a crucial role in supporting their parents' service to the country.
