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 proclaim April 2025 as the Month of the Military Child in New York State, recognizing the significant contributions and sacrifices of military children. The resolution highlights that New York is home to three active duty Army installations, including Fort Drum, which houses the 10th Mountain Division and nearly 20,000 soldiers, and has over 15,000 National Guard and Reserve soldiers and 44,000 military children. Established in 1986 by former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, the Month of the Military Child aims to honor and support the children of military families who face unique challenges such as frequent moves and parental deployments. The resolution specifically notes Purple Up Day on April 15, 2025, when communities are encouraged to wear purple (a color symbolizing all military branches) to show support for military children. The legislative body seeks to recognize these young people as exemplars of strength, resilience, and potential, and to formally request the Governor to officially acknowledge their importance through this proclamation.
