Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 12, 2025, as Women Veterans Recognition Day in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 12, 2025, as Women Veterans Recognition Day in New York State, commemorating the 77th anniversary of the Women's Armed Services Act of 1948. The resolution highlights the significant contributions of women veterans, noting that women have historically served in the U.S. military with integrity and dedication, evolving from just 2% of enlisted forces in 1973 to 16% today. It recognizes that there are currently over two million women veterans in the United States, with approximately 714,000 veterans in New York State, and celebrates key milestones such as the lifting of combat role restrictions for women in 2013 and the first woman serving on a Navy submarine in 2015. The resolution aims to pay tribute to the bravery, patriotism, and sacrifices of women veterans, both living and deceased, and seeks to educate New Yorkers about women's important roles in military service. Additionally, the resolution directs that copies be transmitted to Governor Hochul and Viviana M. DeCohen, Commissioner of the New York State Department of Veterans' Services, to formally acknowledge and honor women veterans' contributions.
