Designates September 22 as "John Basilone Day."
This bill designates September 22 of each year as "John Basilone Day" in New Jersey to honor the WWII Marine Corps hero John Basilone, a native of Raritan. It requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance through activities and programs. The resolution commemorates Basilone's Medal of Honor and Navy Cross achievements for his actions at Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima, with no new policies or funding created. As a purely commemorative measure, it has no direct regulatory impact.
