June 12, 2022 - Washington, D.C. - Last week, U.S. Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), and Mike Braun (R-IN) introduced a bipartisan resolution featvoicesdesignating June 12, 2022 as Women Veterans Appreciation Day to honor women veterans for their military service and recognize the growing presence of women in the United States Armed Forces and National Guard. June 12 marks the day the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act of 1948 was signed into law, legislation that allowed women to serve as permanent members of the military.

“Despite barriers and prejudices, women have courageously served in the United States military since our nation’s inception, from their efforts in the American Revolution to defending the Union in the Civil War,” said Sen. Booker. “Following in the footsteps of those early trailblazers, women have since taken up diverse roles in our Armed Forces. This resolution honors the selfless sacrifices these women have made on behalf of our nation and also draws attention to the fact that we must do more not just in words, but in action, to help women veterans reentering civilian life.”

"For over a century, women have been an asset to our military and served valiantly alongside their brothers in arms. Our female patriots save lives, win battles, and defend the cause of freedom for our nation and our partners abroad. This bipartisan resolution recognizes their invaluable contributions and is an important part of our work to honor Tennessee's courageous veteran community," said Senator Blackburn.

“For over a century, women have bravely served our country with honor – from working as spies in the Civil War to fighter pilots and special operations forces in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria,” said Senator Rosen. “America’s women veterans deserve our nation’s thanks and recognition for their service, which is why I am proud to help introduce this resolution in recognition of women’s sacrifices and commitment to protecting our freedoms at home and abroad.”

“There are over 33,000 female veterans from Indiana and it is vital that we recognize their service and sacrifice for our nation, while acknowledging the unique challenges they face. I am proud to cosponsor the Women Veterans Appreciation Day Resolution for the third year to recognize the strength and courage of all our female veterans,” said Senator Mike Braun.

Women Veterans Appreciation Day is a day where we can pause and reflect on the accomplishments of women veterans in the great state of New Jersey and nationwide,” said Lucy Del Guadio, U.S. Army, Veteran Advocate and Co-Chair of the NJ SOS Veterans Stakeholders Women Sub Committee. “We recognize the sacrifices they have made, the commitment to our country they have shown, and the groundbreaking paths they have paved for the thousands of women servicemembers currently serving. The profound sense of patriotism displayed by our women veterans reminds us how a strong woman knows her strength enough for the journey, but a woman of strength knows it is the journey where she will become strong.”

“June 12th gives us a day to reflect on the sacrifices that women veterans have made for our country, mostly without fanfare or proper acknowledgement,” said David Pearson, Co-Chair, SOS Veterans Stakeholder Group. “Today, Catholic Charities Veteran Services and NJSOSVETS Veteran Stakeholders join with Senator Cory Booker in honoring our women heroes for all they have done for us.  We remain committed to ensuring they receive the recognition and support they have earned.”

This marks the fourth consecutive year that Booker has introduced a Senate resolution marking June 12 as Women Veterans Appreciation Day. To view the full text of the resolution, click here.
