HRES 535 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of November 12, 2023, as "National Warrior Call Day" and recognizing the importance of connecting warriors in the United States to support structures necessary to transition from the battlefield.

HRES 535 is a symbolic resolution designating November 12, 2023, as "National Warrior Call Day" to raise awareness about veterans' mental health and connection to support systems. It does not create new programs or funding but encourages Americans to call veterans or military members for meaningful conversation and to connect them with resources. The resolution cites rising veteran suicide rates (6,261 in 2019) and aims to address isolation through public engagement. It directly affects veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders by promoting community support. This is a non-binding awareness measure with no concrete policy changes.
