The resolution acknowledges the long history of women's service in the United States military, dating back to the American Revolution and formalized with the establishment of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps in 1901. It recognizes the significant contributions of women in various military roles throughout history, including their service in World Wars I and II, and in modern conflicts such as Afghanistan, where they have taken on combat and leadership roles. The resolution notes that there are over two million women veterans in the United States, Puerto Rico, and other territories, who continue to push boundaries and assume groundbreaking positions in the military.

To honor the service and sacrifices of women in the U.S. Armed Forces, the House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island proclaims June 12, 2023, as "Women Veterans Appreciation Day." This day coincides with the anniversary of the signing of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act by President Harry S. Truman on June 12, 1948, which allowed women to serve in the regular and reserve forces during peacetime. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to transmit certified copies of this resolution to the State of Rhode Island Office of Veterans Services and the Rhode Island Veterans Home, ensuring that the appreciation for women veterans is formally recognized and communicated.
