Designates May 27 of each year as "Richard Rescorla Day."
AJR 82 designates May 27 of each year as "Richard Rescorla Day" in New Jersey to honor the late Vietnam War veteran and 9/11 hero Richard Rescorla, who saved 2,700 Morgan Stanley employees during the 9/11 attacks before perishing in the World Trade Center collapse. The resolution requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public recognition of Rescorla's service and sacrifice. This is a commemorative measure with no new policies, funding, or obligations.
