A resolution to designate September 9, 2025, as "National World War II Italian Campaign Remembrance Day", and to recognize the sacrifices made by American and Allied soldiers who liberated Italy from German occupation during World War II.

This Senate resolution designates September 9, 2025 as National World War II Italian Campaign Remembrance Day. It honors and recognizes the sacrifices of American and Allied soldiers who fought to liberate Italy from German occupation during World War II. The resolution provides historical context for the Italian campaign—beginning with the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943, the Armistice with Italy, the long hard-fought push to Rome, major battles such as Monte Cassino and Anzio, and the eventual German capitulations in Italy and Europe in 1945—and highlights the scale and cost of the campaign, including Allied and Axis casualties and the roles of American and Allied forces, including international partners. Although ceremonial in nature, the measure emphasizespreserving battlefields and cemeteries in Italy, supporting commemorative and educational activities, and encouraging the American public to observe the day and express gratitude to those who served. As a non-binding ceremonial resolution, it does not create new laws or funding. Its purpose is to publicly acknowledge the Italian campaign’s significance, promote remembrance and education, and encourage continued reverence for the sacrifices made by veterans and their allies.
