 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 June 12, 2025, as Women Veterans Recognition Day in
 the State of New York

 WHEREAS, Seventy-seven years ago, on June 12, 1948, President Harry
S. Truman signed into law the Women's Armed Services Act of 1948 (P.L.
625-80th Congress); this law ensured that women would have a permanent
place in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines; and

 WHEREAS, The late Senator Margaret Chase Smith from Maine authorized
the legislation that President Truman signed; the Act remains the most
significant legislation pertaining to women's military service and is
the cornerstone for policies and regulations affecting women; and

 WHEREAS, Women have always answered the call to duty, serving the
United States of America with integrity and respect; and

 WHEREAS, When the draft ended in 1973, women represented just two
percent of the enlisted forces and eight percent of the officer corps;
today sixteen percent of the enlisted force are women and nineteen
percent of women are in the officer corps; and

 WHEREAS, Women from New York who have served in the Armed Forces of
the United States have made countless contributions and tremendous
sacrifices; and

 WHEREAS, It is important to recognize the contributions of New York
women veterans, and to educate the people of New York concerning the
role of women in our military; and

 WHEREAS, Women serving in the military continue to demonstrate their
professionalism, dedication, leadership, and skills, as well as the
patriotism and love for their country as they mobilize in record numbers
to support Operation Noble Eagle, Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation
Iraqi Freedom, Operation New Dawn, Operation Inherent Resolve and the
Global War on Terrorism; and

 WHEREAS, Today, there are more than two million women veterans in
the United States, representing 10 percent of the total veteran's
population; and

 WHEREAS, There are approximately 714,00 veterans in New York state,
8.8 percent are women veterans; and

 WHEREAS, Women who have served this country in uniform, during
wartime and peacetime service, have earned our respect and thanks; and

 WHEREAS, In 1998, the State of New York dedicated The New York State
Women Veterans Memorial located in Albany, New York, to honor the 1.2
million women in military service over the past 200 years; and

 WHEREAS, In January 2013, an announcement was made by Defense
Secretary Leon Panetta that the military would be lifting the policy
against women in combat roles; and

 WHEREAS, The first woman to serve aboard a Navy fast-attack
submarine reported to duty on the USS Minnesota in January of 2015; and

 WHEREAS, The American Legion elected its first female national
commander at their 99th National Convention in August of 2017; Commander
Denise Rohn served on active duty as a stock control and accounting
specialist and repair parts specialist course instructor at Fort Lee,
Virginia, where she was honorably discharged in 1976; and

 WHEREAS, The American Legion Department of New York elected US Navy
veteran Rena M. Nessler at the 99th Convention in Syracuse, New York, in
July of 2017; Commander Nessler served from 1969 to 1972, and was
honorably discharged as a yeoman third class; she is the first woman to
hold the position of Commander of The American Legion Department of New
York; and

 WHEREAS, Governor Hochul named the
