Assembly Resolution No. 1442

BY: M. of A. Rules (Hunter)

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 May 8, 2026, as Military Spouse Appreciation Day in
 the State of New York, in conjunction with the
 observance of National Military Spouse Appreciation
 Day

 WHEREAS, America's military spouses are the backbone of the families
who support our troops during mission, deployment, reintegration, and
reset; and

 WHEREAS, Military spouses are silent heroes who are essential to the
strength of the nation, and they serve our country just like their loved
ones; and

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 8, 2026, as Military Spouse
Appreciation Day in the State of New York, in conjunction with the
observance of National Military Spouse Appreciation Month; and

 WHEREAS, On April 17, 1984, President Ronald Reagan recognized the
profound importance of spousal commitment to the readiness and
well-being of military members with Proclamation 5184; Congress
officially made Military Spouse Appreciation Day part of National
Military Appreciation Month in 1999; and

 WHEREAS, Subsequently, the Department of Defense standardized the
date by declaring the Friday before Mother's Day every year as Military
Spouse Appreciation Day; and

 WHEREAS, On Military Spouse Appreciation Day, we honor the
contribution and sacrifices made by military spouses whose commitment
and support help to keep our country safe; military spouses truly have a
great impact on our lives and our military communities; and

 WHEREAS, Military spouses share a bond with each other, and share
valuable information pertaining to military news, benefits, fitness, and
so much more; and

 WHEREAS, In celebration of Military Spouse Appreciation Day, the
armed forces host special events and programs to inform, honor, and
recognize military spouses around the world; events range from spouse
appreciation luncheons to educational workshops, and spouse employment
fairs which pay tribute to military spouses; and

 WHEREAS, On May 23, 1984, President Ronald Reagan declared the first
Military Spouse Day with Proclamation 5184; he recognized the importance
of spouses' commitment to the readiness and well-being of military
members; Casper Weinberger, U.S. Department of Defense, standardized the
date by declaring the Friday preceding Mothers' Day as Military Spouse
Day; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 8, 2026, as Military
Spouse Appreciation Day in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
