AJR 51 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates July 8 of each year as "New Jersey Revolutionary War Remembrance Day."

AJR 51 designates July 8 of each year as "New Jersey Revolutionary War Remembrance Day" to honor the state's pivotal role in the American Revolution. The bill specifically references July 8, 1776 - the date the Declaration of Independence was first publicly read in New Jersey - and requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance. It does not create new laws or affect specific groups but formally recognizes New Jersey's historical significance, including its 300+ Revolutionary War battles and sites like Jockey Hollow. This procedural resolution aims to promote awareness of the state's contributions to American independence.
