Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 13, 2025, as K9 Veterans Day in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to designate March 13, 2025, as K9 Veterans Day in New York State. It honors military working dogs and related K9 units (including border patrol, search/rescue, and police dogs) who have served from World War I through current conflicts. The resolution cites March 13 as the anniversary of the K9 Corps' founding in 1942 and aligns with National K9 Veterans Day. It does not create new laws but asks the Governor to issue a formal proclamation for public recognition. The resolution was adopted by the Assembly on March 13, 2025.
