Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 13, 2025, as Borinqueneers Day in the State of New York

Senate Resolution 298 requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 13, 2025, as Borinqueneers Day in New York State. This resolution honors the Borinqueneers (65th U.S. Army Infantry Regiment), a unit of Puerto Rican soldiers recognized for their service during the Korean War, including receiving numerous military honors. It aligns with the national observance established by Congress in the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act, which designated April 13 as National Borinqueneers Day. The resolution serves as a commemorative recognition of the unit's historical contributions to U.S. military history.
