BY: M. of A. Barrett

        MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
        November 2019, as Military Family Appreciation Month
        in the State of New York

  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, It is the sense of this  Legislative  Body  to  memorialize
Governor  Andrew  M. Cuomo to proclaim November 2019, 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 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  Military  Spouse  Appreciation  Month we honor the
contributions and sacrifices made by military families, whose commitment
and support help to keep our country safe; military families truly  have
a great impact on our lives and our military communities; and

  WHEREAS,  Military  families  know  what it means to serve; each and
every day, they get up and support their  service  member,  standing  by
during  long trainings and deployments; each family knows the risks, but
accept this life of service anyway; 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, Today,  with  hundreds  of  thousands  of  service  members
deployed overseas, recognizing the daily sacrifices made by active duty,
Guard, and Reserve military families has never been more important; now,
therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M.  Cuomo  to  proclaim  November  2019,  as
Military  Family  Appreciation Month in the State of New York; and be it
further

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