The 2025 Senate Joint Resolution 70, introduced by a bipartisan group of senators and representatives, seeks to officially proclaim June 12, 2025, as Women Veterans Day in Wisconsin. This date marks the anniversary of the signing of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act by President Harry S. Truman in 1948, which allowed women to serve as permanent members of the U.S. Armed Forces. The resolution highlights the significant contributions of women in the military since the Revolutionary War and acknowledges the growing demographic of women veterans, who are projected to make up nearly one-fifth of the national veteran population by 2040.

The resolution also emphasizes the vital roles that women veterans continue to play in society after their military service, including as community leaders and educators. It addresses the unique challenges faced by women veterans, such as higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual violence, and unemployment compared to their male counterparts. By proclaiming Women Veterans Day, the Wisconsin State Legislature aims to honor the courage and dedication of women veterans and to ensure they receive the dignity and respect they deserve for their sacrifices.
