Commemorating 50 years of women at the service academies.

This resolution commemorates the 50th anniversary of women's admission to the United States military service academies, which began in 1976. Since their initial enrollment, over 24,000 women have graduated, achieving high levels of leadership, including four-star rank and combatant command, and contributing to a significant increase in women officers within the Armed Forces. These women have demonstrated exceptional service, engaging heroically in combat, excelling in diverse roles from ground combat to astronauts, and breaking numerous barriers, such as being the first women to earn the Army Ranger tab or command an aircraft carrier. The resolution emphasizes that women have strengthened the Armed Forces with their talent and competence, and have continued to serve with distinction in civilian leadership roles. Consequently, the House of Representatives supports designating a "50 Years of Women at the Service Academies Day," commends the extraordinary contributions of these women, and honors all women who serve in the United States Armed Forces.
