119th Congress Introduced Feb 12, 2026

Summary

What This Bill Does

This joint resolution commemorates the Army Nurse Corps on its 125th anniversary. It pays tribute to Army nurses and expresses gratitude for their commitment to health care, military readiness, and service to the Nation. It does not create new military medical benefits, but it gives congressional recognition to current Army nurses, retired nurses, military patients, and the Army medical system.

Who Benefits and How

Army Nurse Corps members benefit from formal congressional recognition of 125 years of military nursing service. Military patients benefit indirectly because the resolution highlights the importance of Army nursing to care and readiness. Retired Army nurses benefit because the resolution honors the Corps' historical service across wars and deployments. Army medical facilities benefit from public recognition of nursing as central to military health care.

Who Bears the Burden and How

Army medical leaders must continue recruiting, retaining, and supporting nurses after the commemorative recognition. Military health system planners must address workforce and readiness needs that recognition alone does not fund. Congressional defense committees must decide whether gratitude should be followed by staffing or benefit legislation. Federal taxpayers bear the cost of any future military medical investments Congress chooses to make.

  • Provides congressional gratitude for Army Nurse Corps members' service to the Nation.
  • Strengthens public recognition of military nursing, patient care, and readiness.
