Bill > HRes511

This resolution honors the contributions and achievements of women veterans by recognizing their extraordinary service, bravery, and leadership throughout U.S. military history. The resolution highlights numerous trailblazing women who have broken barriers in the military, such as Army General Ann E. Dunwoody (the first four-star female general), Mary Edwards Walker (the only woman to receive the Medal of Honor), and Simone Askew (the first Black woman to serve as top cadet at West Point). It specifically acknowledges the historical significance of women's military service, from the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps established in 1942 to the heroic 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion (an all-Black, all-female unit in World War II). The resolution officially recognizes June 12 as "Women Veterans Recognition Day" and calls on the House of Representatives to celebrate and honor the sacrifices, contributions, and achievements of women veterans both past and present, emphasizing their critical role in defending the nation and breaking down gender and racial barriers in military service.
