Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 9, 2026, as Yellow Ribbon Day in the State of New York
AI Summary
This Resolution urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate April 9, 2026, as Yellow Ribbon Day in New York State. The resolution highlights the courage and sacrifices of members of the United States Armed Forces, acknowledging their dedication to preserving freedom and democratic principles. It explains that Yellow Ribbon Day, first commemorated in 2006 due to the efforts of "The Yellow Ribbon Lady," serves as a reminder to support service members, prisoners of war (POWs), and those missing in action, with April 9th specifically chosen to honor US Army Staff Sergeant Maupin, the first POW of the Iraq War, who was captured on that date in 2004. The resolution emphasizes the importance of expressing gratitude for the high price paid by military personnel for the freedoms enjoyed by Americans.
