Veterans (National Guard & Reserve)

HRES 497 is a non-binding House resolution expressing support for designating June as "Veterans Appreciation Month." It does not create new programs or laws but formally acknowledges veterans' service and sacrifices through a symbolic gesture. The resolution cites veterans' global contributions, their personal sacrifices, and June's timing relative to Memorial Day and D-Day as reasons for the designation. It directly affects no individuals or entities, as it serves only as a statement of congressional support.

SRES 392 is a Senate resolution designating November 16, 2025, as "National Warrior Call Day." It encourages all U.S. citizens to reach out to active-duty service members and veterans through phone calls or conversations to reduce isolation and connect them with support resources. The resolution specifically highlights the importance of peer-to-peer connections in addressing mental health challenges, citing veteran suicide statistics as context. As a symbolic measure (not a law), it does not create new programs but urges public engagement to support military personnel transitioning from service.
