Veterans

California's Senate Resolution 49 designates June 25, 2025, as the state's official commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Korean War. The resolution honors the service and sacrifice of Korean War veterans (over 36,000 U.S. service members died) and recognizes the enduring U.S.-South Korea alliance forged during the conflict. It is a ceremonial resolution with no binding policy changes, intended to raise awareness of this historical event.

Senate Concurrent Resolution 18 (SCR 18) designates March 25, 2025, as National Medal of Honor Day in California. This resolution honors the recipients of the Medal of Honor, the United States' highest military award for valor.

This measure would recognize "Women Warriors" by proclaiming the week of March 16, 2025, to March 22, 2025, inclusive, as Women's Military History Week in California, recognize the hard-fought contributions of women to the military and freedom, and encourage Californians to honor the courageous sacrifices that women have made since the historic lifting of the ban on women in combat on January 24, 2013.
