Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 9, 2026, as Yellow Ribbon Day in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare April 9, 2026, as Yellow Ribbon Day throughout New York State. The resolution honors military service members, particularly former prisoners of war, by recognizing the sacrifices they made for the country. It does not change any laws or create new programs but serves as a symbolic gesture to show appreciation for armed forces personnel. The measure directs the legislature to send a formal copy of the resolution to the governor for her signature.
