Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim August 7, 2025, as Purple Heart Day in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim August 7, 2025, as Purple Heart Day in New York State, honoring military service members who have been wounded or killed in action. The resolution provides historical context about the Purple Heart Medal, noting that it is the oldest military decoration in the world, originally created by General George Washington during the Revolutionary War as a Badge of Military Merit to recognize soldiers' bravery. The resolution highlights that the Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the President of the United States to military personnel who have been wounded or killed in battle, and emphasizes the importance of recognizing and appreciating the sacrifices made by military service members. By requesting the governor to officially designate this day, the resolution aims to ensure that the contributions and heroism of wounded and fallen soldiers are remembered and celebrated, with particular recognition that the National Purple Heart of Fame is located in New Windsor, New York. The resolution calls for a copy of the memorial to be transmitted to Governor Hochul as a formal request to commemorate this significant day.
