Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This resolution expresses congressional support for designating March 27, 2025, as "Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day" and calls on all states, territories, and the District of Columbia to formally recognize the Tuskegee Airmen. The Tuskegee Airmen were Black pilots and support personnel who served in the Army Air Corps from 1941 to 1949, flying over 15,000 combat sorties in World War II and earning numerous military decorations despite facing severe racial discrimination and segregation. The resolution honors their contributions to both the war effort and the civil rights movement, including their role in inspiring desegregation of the Armed Forces through their actions at home and abroad. No funding is authorized by this resolution, as it is a commemorative measure acknowledging the historical significance and sacrifices of these veterans whose numbers are dwindling.
