Expressing support for the designation of June 10, 2023, as "Veterans Get Outside Day".
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating June 10, 2023, as "Veterans Get Outside Day." It directly aims to benefit veterans, particularly those dealing with mental health challenges like PTSD, traumatic brain injury, depression, or anxiety, by promoting outdoor activities. The resolution encourages coordination between the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Forest Service, and the Department of the Interior to promote this day alongside existing programs like National Get Outdoors Day. It does not create new laws or funding but seeks to leverage the documented mental health benefits of nature exposure through federal agency collaboration.
