The resolution designates November 2026 as Veterans Month in New Jersey to honor the achievements, contributions, and sacrifices of military veterans. It acknowledges the significant role that veterans have played in ensuring the safety and security of the nation, allowing citizens to enjoy freedom and representative government. With approximately 350,000 veterans residing in New Jersey, the resolution emphasizes the importance of recognizing and celebrating their service, particularly given the state's active military presence.

The resolution also allows the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe Veterans Month with appropriate activities and programs. This initiative builds on the historical context of Veterans Day, originally Armistice Day, which has been celebrated since 1918 to recognize those who served in various conflicts. By designating November 2026 as Veterans Month, New Jersey aims to provide a dedicated time for reflection and appreciation of the sacrifices made by veterans throughout the state's and nation's history.
