BY: M. of A. Barrett

        MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
        November 2021, as Military Family Appreciation Month
        in the State of New York

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  custom  of this Legislative Body to recognize
official months that are set aside to pay tribute to the family  members
of  the  United  States  Military  who  have  so faithfully served their
community and country with courage and commitment, contributing  to  the
safety  and  welfare  of others and the preservation of the freedoms and
democratic principles upon which this State and Nation are founded; and

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern  and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
memorialize Governor Andrew M.  Cuomo  to  proclaim  November  2021,  as
Military  Family  Appreciation  Month  in  the  State  of  New  York, in
conjunction with the observance of National Military Family Appreciation
Month; and

  WHEREAS, Military families are silent heroes who  are  essential  to
the  strength  of the Nation, and they serve our country just like their
loved ones; and

  WHEREAS, America's  military  families  are  the  backbone  of  this
country, supporting our troops during mission, deployment, reintegration
and reset; and

  WHEREAS, National Military Family Appreciation Month was established
in  1996,  by the Armed Services YMCA, with the United States Government
recognizing the occasion every year since; each November, the  President
signs a proclamation declaring Military Family Appreciation Month; and

  WHEREAS,  During  National  Military  Family  Appreciation Month, we
celebrate the loved ones of our country's men and women in  uniform  and
recognize  the  sacrifices  they  have  made  in support of our Nation's
heroes; and

  WHEREAS, Military families truly know what is means to  serve;  each
and  every  day, they get up and support their services member, standing
by during long trainings and deployments; each of  these  families  know
the risks, but accept this life of service; and

  WHEREAS,  Military  families share a bond with each other, and share
valuable information pertaining to military news, benefits, fitness  and
so much more; and

  WHEREAS,  The  freedom,  peace,  and  security  that citizens of the
United States enjoy today are the direct results of the  sacrifices  and
the  continued  vigilance  of  the members of the Armed Forces and their
families who selflessly serve to protect our Nation; and

  WHEREAS, Today,  with  hundreds  of  thousands  of  service  members
deployed overseas, recognizing the daily sacrifices made by active duty,

National  Guard  and  Reserve  military  families,  has  never been more
important; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this  Legislative  Body  pause its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M.  Cuomo  to  proclaim  November  2021,  as
Military  Family  Appreciation Month in the State of New York; and be it
further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of  the  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted  to  The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of
New York.
