Memorials, Recognition - Women Veterans Appreciation Day -

This resolution designates June 12, 2026, as "Women Veterans Appreciation Day" in Tennessee. It honors the service of Tennessee's over 40,000 women veterans, recognizing their historical and ongoing contributions from the Revolutionary War through modern conflicts. The resolution commemorates milestones like the 1948 Women Armed Services Integration Act and highlights a planned Women Veterans Appreciation Week (June 7-13, 2026). It does not create new laws or funding but formally acknowledges women veterans' service through state recognition. The resolution was introduced and passed by the Tennessee General Assembly in early 2026.
