Creates a women veterans history trail
Bill A 8061 creates a "women veterans history trail" to recognize and celebrate the history of women in service. The Department of Veterans' Services will develop and designate this trail, consulting with the New York State Military Museum, Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, and the State Historian. The trail will feature various sites like museums, memorials, and historic homes. The department will solicit recommendations from local governments, individuals, and organizations for inclusions in the trail. Public information about the trail will be available through the department's website, a free mobile application, and digital veterans' welcome kiosks.
