 WHEREAS, Syrian-Americans continue to make innumerable and immense
contributions to the wealth and cultural heritage of our great State of
New York; and

Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 17, 2026, as Syrian-American
Heritage Day, in conjunction with 80th Anniversary of Syria's
independence; and

 WHEREAS, April 17th holds historical significance as Syrian-American
Heritage Day, commemorating the rich heritage, traditions and
achievements of Syrian-Americans, many of whom initially settled and
established thriving communities in New York State; and

 WHEREAS, The celebration of Syrian-American Heritage Day provides an
opportunity to recognize and appreciate the enduring contributions of
Syrian-Americans to the state's cultural mosaic, arts and various
sectors; and

 WHEREAS, Honoring Syrian-American Heritage Day underscores the
State's commitment to diversity, inclusivity and the celebration of
immigrant contributions to the State's prosperity and cultural richness;
and

 WHEREAS, By recognizing the accomplishments and contributions of
Syrian-Americans, this great Empire State reaffirms our commitment to
diversity and equal opportunity for all, thereby ensuring a bright
future for all New Yorkers and Americans; and now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 17, 2026, as
Syrian-American Heritage Day in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
