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, a day dedicated to honoring and recognizing military service members, particularly prisoners of war and those missing in action. The resolution highlights the sacrifices of United States Armed Forces personnel, emphasizing their courage in defending democracy and freedom, and recognizes the tradition begun in 2006 by Carol Pingelski Hotaling (known as "The Yellow Ribbon Lady"). Specifically inspired by US Army Staff Sergeant Maupin, who was the first POW of the Iraq War and was captured on April 9, 2004, the resolution aims to raise awareness about military service, promote unity and respect for service members, and ensure that New Yorkers never forget the courage and sacrifices of those who have served their country. The resolution requests that a copy of the document be transmitted to Governor Hochul, symbolically asking her to officially recognize and commemorate Yellow Ribbon Day.
