Key Points
Congress is officially recognizing the 125th anniversary of the Army Nurse Corps, which was established on February 2, 1901. This group was the first to bring professional nurses and women into the United States military.
The resolution highlights the long history of these nurses, from the volunteers in the Civil War to those who served on the front lines in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This action serves as a formal tribute to the thousands of nurses who have cared for wounded soldiers over the last century. It is a ceremonial gesture of gratitude and does not change any laws, provide new funding, or alter veteran benefits.
