Referred to the Subcommittee on Military Personnel.
This resolution is a nonbinding statement adopted by both the House and the Senate to recognize and honor members of the Armed Forces who serve or served as military nurses. It praises their service, highlights their history, and expresses support for programs to strengthen the nursing workforce. It does not create new law, change existing law, or provide funding. Its effect is to record Congress's view and encourage attention to the issue, but it is not legally binding.
Concurrent resolutions must be approved by both chambers of Congress; they are not sent to the President and do not have the force of law or create binding legal obligations.
This concurrent resolution recognizes and honors members of the U.S. Armed Forces who serve or have served as military nurses, recounting their historical service from the Revolutionary War through current conflicts.
It highlights milestones, casualty statistics, and advances in military nursing and states Congressional support for programs to strengthen and increase the nursing workforce.
Concurrent resolutions express congressional sentiment but do not create law; therefore they cannot become statute.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this concurrent resolution is clearly written and functions as a commemorative expression recognizing the service of military nurses. It provides substantial historical narrative and a clear declarative purpose but contains no implementation mechanisms, funding provisions, statutory amendments, or accountability measures—appropriate characteristics for a symbolic resolution.
