HRES 249 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of March 23, 2023, as "Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day", and calling on each State, the District of Columbia, and each territory to recognize the Tuskegee Airmen for their heroism, valor, and exemplary service to the Nation.

This resolution (HRES 249) supports designating March 23, 2023, as "Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day" and urges all states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories to formally recognize the Tuskegee Airmen. It directly affects state and local governments by calling on them to honor these Black military personnel who served in the U.S. Army Air Corps from 1941-1949. The resolution highlights their historic achievements - flying over 15,000 combat sorties, overcoming segregation, and contributing to the military's integration through Executive Order 9981 - without creating new laws or funding. As a symbolic measure, it focuses on commemoration rather than policy change.
