Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that as the United States marks 250 years of independence, establishing a "Veterans Appreciation Month" offers a simple but powerful way for the Nation to recognize the men and women whose service has protected American freedom for generations.

This House Resolution expresses the sense that establishing a "Veterans Appreciation Month" offers a powerful way to recognize the service of men and women who have protected American freedom. This initiative is proposed as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary of independence in 2026, providing an opportunity to focus national attention on millions of veterans.

Such a month would encourage businesses, schools, and civic organizations to honor veterans and expand awareness of the sacrifices made by military families. It aims to reinforce the vital connection between American freedom and those who defend it, fostering a nationwide expression of gratitude.

Participating businesses could identify themselves as "America 250 Military Appreciation Businesses," demonstrating their support during this historic milestone and encouraging broader private sector involvement.
