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 notes significant milestones, such as 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 regular and reserve forces during peacetime, and highlights the diverse roles women have played in the military, from nurses and support staff in World War I to combat helicopter pilots and intelligence roles in recent conflicts.

The resolution declares June 12, 2024, as "Women Veterans Appreciation Day" in Rhode Island to honor the service and sacrifices of women in the U.S. Armed Forces. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing the approximately two million women veterans in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Territories/Foreign for their groundbreaking roles and contributions to the nation's military. The resolution also instructs the Secretary of State to send certified copies of the resolution to the State of Rhode Island Office of Veterans Services and the Rhode Island Veterans Home to ensure the observance of this appreciation day.
