A resolution designating July 26, 2025, as "National Day of the American Cowboy".
This bill is a Senate Resolution that designates July 26, 2025, as the “National Day of the American Cowboy.” It serves as a ceremonial recognition of the cowboy as a symbol of American character and heritage, highlighting values such as honesty, integrity, courage, compassion, respect, a strong work ethic, and patriotism. The resolution also notes the cowboy’s role in the economy (through ranching and rodeo) and its broader cultural presence in literature, film, and music. It encourages Americans to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. As a resolution, it is a non-binding expression of the Senate’s recognition rather than a law or policy that would create new programs or require funding. It does not authorize federal spending or impose mandates; its main effect is symbolic acknowledgment and the encouragement of observance.
