Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.
H.J.Res. 149 is a ceremonial resolution that honors the 125th anniversary of the Army Nurse Corps, which was officially established on February 2, 1901, marking the entry of the first nurses and first women into the U.S. military. The resolution recognizes the historical contributions of Army nurses dating back to the Revolutionary War and highlights their service in every major military conflict since 1901, including both World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, and recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Congress uses this resolution to express gratitude for Army nurses' dedication, skill, and sacrifice, noting that 653 nurses are interred in Arlington National Cemetery's Nurses Section. This is a symbolic measure with no direct funding or regulatory impact—it simply pays official tribute to the corps and its members' service to the nation.
