This resolution seeks to designate September 9, 2025, as "National World War II Italian Campaign Remembrance Day" . Its primary purpose is to honor the profound bravery, service, and immense sacrifices made by American and Allied forces during the campaign to liberate Italy from German occupation. The chosen date specifically marks the beginning of the liberation of mainland Italy in 1943, following the Allied invasion of Sicily and the surrender of Italy. Beyond designation, the resolution recognizes the critical importance of preserving key battlefields, cemeteries, and historical sites across Italy as sacred places of remembrance. It also supports all commemorative and educational efforts aimed at safeguarding this hard-fought memory for future generations. The resolution encourages the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies, education, and reflection, and requests the President to issue a proclamation to that effect.
