This resolution aims to memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim May 2025 as Military Appreciation Month in New York State, recognizing the significant contributions of military servicemembers throughout the state's history. The resolution highlights the importance of honoring active duty personnel, National Guard and Reserve members, military retirees, veterans, and their families, and acknowledges the diverse historical impact of military service. The resolution specifically notes that May includes several important military-related observances such as VE Day, Military Spouse Appreciation Day, Loyalty Day, Armed Forces Day, Public Service Recognition Week, and Memorial Day. By seeking the governor's proclamation, the legislative body seeks to create a formal framework for educating future generations about military service, encouraging community participation, and expressing gratitude to those who have served or are currently serving in the United States Armed Forces.
