Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 25, 2025, as Medal of Honor Day in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of National Medal of Honor Day
This is a ceremonial resolution (not a binding bill) requesting Governor Hochul to officially designate March 25, 2025, as "Medal of Honor Day" in New York State, aligning with the national observance. It urges all New Yorkers to display the U.S. flag on that date to honor Medal of Honor recipients. The resolution references New York's connection to 672 Medal of Honor recipients, including local heroes like Jason Dunham and Michael Murphy. As a procedural measure, it has no policy impact beyond symbolic recognition.
