Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2025, as the Month of the Military Child in the State of New York
This resolution asks Governor Hochul to officially proclaim April 2025 as "Month of the Military Child" in New York, honoring military children who navigate frequent relocations due to parents' service. It aligns with Purple Up Day on April 15, 2025, and recognizes the resilience of military children across New York, where over 44,000 live outside military installations. The resolution is symbolic, not a policy change, and focuses on public recognition of their challenges.
