The Wisconsin State Legislature has introduced Assembly Joint Resolution 78, which proclaims June 12, 2025, as Women Veterans Day. This resolution honors the significant contributions of women in the military since the Revolutionary War and recognizes the historical importance of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act, signed by President Harry S. Truman on June 12, 1948, which allowed women to serve as permanent members of the U.S. Armed Forces. The resolution highlights the growing demographic of women veterans, noting that they are projected to make up nearly one-fifth of the national veteran population by 2040, and acknowledges that Wisconsin is home to over 29,000 women veterans, representing about 10 percent of the state's veteran population.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the ongoing challenges faced by women veterans, including higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual violence, and unemployment compared to their male counterparts. It calls for the State of Wisconsin to address these issues and ensure that women veterans receive the dignity and respect they deserve for their sacrifices. The resolution concludes by commending the courage and dedication of Wisconsin's women veterans in their service to the country.
