Assembly Resolution No. 182
 
BY: M. of A. Hunter
 
        MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
        April  2021,  as  the Month of the Military Child in
        the State of New York
 
  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to  recognize  and
pay tribute to those young people within the great Empire State who have
made  strong  contributions  to  their communities and who serve as role
models for their peers; and
 
  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concerns and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to  proclaim  April  2021,  as  the
Month  of  the  Military  Child in the State of New York, in conjunction
with the observance of Purple Up Day on Thursday, April 15, 2021; and
 
  WHEREAS,  New  York  State  is  home  to  three  active  duty   Army
installations,  Fort  Drum Army Base, U.S. Military Academy Army Base at
West Point and Fort  Hamilton  Army  Base;  housing  the  10th  Mountain
Division, nearly 20,000 soldiers call Fort Drum home; and
 
  WHEREAS,  In  addition, there are over 15,000 geographical dispensed
National Guard and Reserve Soldiers and nearly 44,000 military  children
living in New York, not on military installations; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Military  children  make  up  a  very  special part of our
nation's population; although young,  these  brave  sons  and  daughters
stand  in  steadfast support of their military parents through moves and
deployments on behalf of our country; and
 
  WHEREAS, Established in 1986, the Month of  the  Military  Child  is
part  of  the legacy left by former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger,
and underscores the important role military children play in  the  armed
forces community; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Sponsored  by the Department of Defense Military Community
and Family Policy, the Month of the Military Child is a time to  applaud
military  families and their children for the daily sacrifices they make
and the challenges they overcome; and
 
  WHEREAS, The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA)  joins
the  Department  of  Defense  and  the military community in celebrating
April as the Month of the Military Child; in  DoDEA  communities  around
the world, the most essential strategic imperatives are: establishing an
educational  system  that  progressively  builds  the college and career
readiness of all DoDEA students;  and  establishing  the  organizational
capacity to operate more effectively and efficiently as a model, unified
school system; and
 
  WHEREAS, Furthermore, this vital organization aims to challenge each
student  to  maximize  his  or  her potential and to excel academically,
socially, emotionally  and  physically  for  life,  college  and  career
readiness; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Throughout the month, DoDEA will encourage schools to plan
special events to honor military children;  these  efforts  and  special
events  will  stress  the  importance of providing children with quality
services and support  to  help  them  succeed  in  the  mobile  military
lifestyle; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Purple  is  the color which symbolizes all branches of the
military; when combined, Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air  Force  blue,
Marine red and Navy blue, make purple; consequently, Thursday, April 15,
2021, has been designated as Purple Up Day, a day for communities across
the  country  to wear purple to show support and thank military children
for their strength and sacrifices; and
 
  WHEREAS, Military children exemplify the potential inherent  in  our
most  precious  resource, our youth; they have brought enduring honor to
their families and their communities through their many  sacrifices  and
achievements; now, therefore, be it
 
  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to  proclaim  April  2021,  as  the
Month of the Military Child in the State of New York; and be it further
 
  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the  State  of
New York.
