This resolution expresses support for designating June 2026 as National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month and June 27, 2026, as National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Day. It notes that a significant share of veterans who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Persian Gulf War, and the Vietnam era have experienced post-traumatic stress, and that stigma and limited access to care keep many cases undiagnosed and untreated. The resolution supports ongoing efforts by the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense to educate service members, veterans, and their families about the causes, symptoms, and treatment of post-traumatic stress. It also recognizes the impact post-traumatic stress has on military families and encourages military leadership to support proper treatment for those affected. The resolution creates no new programs or funding — it is a formal statement of support and awareness.
