This resolution designates September 9, 2025, as "National World War II Italian Campaign Remembrance Day" to honor the significant military efforts of American and Allied forces during World War II in liberating Italy from German occupation. The resolution highlights the campaign's extensive scope, noting it was one of the longest continuous combat efforts of the war, lasting 602 days and involving troops from multiple countries including Australia, Canada, France, and others. It emphasizes the tremendous human cost of the campaign, with approximately 350,000 Allied casualties, including 150,000 American casualties, and over 426,000 Axis casualties. The resolution recognizes key historical moments such as the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943, the liberation of Rome in June 1944, and the final surrender of German forces in Italy in May 1945. It also acknowledges the urgency of preserving the memory of these veterans, as less than 1 percent of World War II veterans are still living. The resolution calls for commemorating the campaign through appropriate ceremonies and educational efforts, and requests that the President issue a proclamation encouraging Americans to remember and express gratitude for the sacrifices made during the Italian Campaign.
