A resolution designating June 12, 2023, as "Women Veterans Appreciation Day".

SRES 293 is a commemorative Senate resolution designating June 12, 2023, as "Women Veterans Appreciation Day." It recognizes the service and sacrifices of women veterans who have served in the U.S. military throughout history, including over 2 million women veterans as of 2023. The resolution highlights women's growing presence in the military (17% of active duty personnel in 2021) and their contributions to conflicts and emergencies like the pandemic and Ukraine response. This symbolic gesture does not create new policies or funding but aims to honor women veterans' unique service through a designated day of recognition.
