A resolution expressing support for the designation of the second Saturday in June as "Veterans Get Outside Day".
SRES 272 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating the second Saturday in June as "Veterans Get Outside Day." It directly supports veterans facing mental health challenges like PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, depression, and anxiety, which are linked to higher suicide risks. The resolution encourages coordination between the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Forest Service, and the Department of the Interior to promote this day alongside the existing National Get Outdoors Day. This is a non-binding recognition effort focused on connecting veterans with nature-based wellness opportunities.
