Bill > K00805

This resolution commemorates the 77th anniversary of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act of 1948, a landmark piece of legislation signed by President Harry S. Truman that permanently integrated women into all branches of the U.S. military (Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps). The resolution recognizes the significant contributions and sacrifices of women veterans who have served with honor and valor throughout the decades, highlighting their important role in defending the country. It celebrates how the integration of women into the armed forces exemplifies principles of integrity, service, and respect, and serves as an inspiration for future generations. The legislative body pauses to pay tribute to the bravery of women veterans, both living and deceased, and affirms the act's importance in advancing the American ideals of freedom and shared purpose. As a symbolic gesture, the resolution directs that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to the Truman Library Institute, honoring the president who signed the original act into law.
