119th (2025–2027)
H.Res. 1204
H.Res. 1204 expresses the House of Representatives’ sense that, as the United States marks its 250th anniversary of independence in 2026, the country should establish a “Veterans Appreciation Month” to recognize the service and sacrifices of veterans and military families. The resolution is meant to encourage national attention and prompt businesses, schools, and community groups to participate in public recognition efforts. It also calls for participating businesses to identify themselves as “America 250 Military Appreciation Businesses” to signal support for veterans during this milestone year. The measure is a nonbinding statement of policy, so it does not create programs or direct specific federal funding, but it sets a suggested timing around the 2026 anniversary.
