SCR 177 Delaware Senate · 152nd General Assembly (2023-2024)

PROCLAIMING WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 2024, AS "WOMEN VETERANS DAY" IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

This legislative resolution designates Wednesday, June 12, 2024, as Women Veterans Day throughout the State of Delaware. The measure directly affects the state's official calendar and serves to acknowledge the historical contributions and sacrifices of women who have served in the U.S. military. By passing this concurrent resolution, the Delaware General Assembly formally recognizes the service of over 7,000 women veterans residing in the state. The text highlights key milestones in women's military service, such as the 1948 law that allowed women to serve as permanent regular members of the armed forces. This action is a commemorative gesture rather than a change to laws or government operations.
