SCR 17 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Designating the fourth Thursday of March as Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day.

This Texas legislative resolution (SCR 17) designates the fourth Thursday of March each year as "Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day" in the state. It honors the historical contributions of the Tuskegee Airmen, who broke racial barriers in the U.S. military during World War II and helped pave the way for military integration. The bill does not create new policies or funding but establishes an annual observance to recognize their service and legacy. It directly affects Texans by providing a formal day for commemoration within the state.
