HCONRES 121 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing the sense of Congress that July 22 should be designated as a day of recognition to recognize the unsung heroes of America in wartime.

This concurrent resolution (HCONRES 121) proposes designating July 22 as a day to recognize civilians who supported U.S. military efforts during wartime from home - such as factory workers producing uniforms, ammunition, and supplies - without whom the war effort would have been impossible. It does not create a legal holiday or mandate government action, but expresses Congress's sense that the President should formally designate this date. The resolution specifically aims to honor "unsung heroes" historically overlooked compared to battlefield personnel. It directly affects how the public and government might acknowledge civilian contributions to national defense throughout American history.
