This Resolution officially designates July 25, 2026, as the "National Day of the American Cowboy" in the United States and encourages all Americans to observe the occasion with appropriate ceremonies and activities. As a piece of commemorative legislation, the resolution does not create new laws or government spending; instead, it serves as an official acknowledgment by the Senate celebrating the historical and cultural significance of the American cowboy. The text highlights cowboys as foundational figures in the settlement of the American West who embody values like honesty, patriotism, and a strong work ethic. Furthermore, the resolution provides context by honoring the modern-day contributions of ranchers to the national economy, the popularity of rodeo as a major American sport, and the enduring legacy of the cowboy as a cultural icon in literature, film, and music.
