Boozman, Murray Lead Push to Designate April as Month of the Military Child
Advance legislation to designate April as Month of the Military Child.
Occurrences
Evidence
The proclamation states: "proclaim April 2024 as the Month of the Military Child." It is a Presidential Document from the Executive Office of the President, not congressional legislation.
The proclamation states: "proclaim April 2023 as the Month of the Military Child." It was issued as a presidential proclamation, not as a law or congressional resolution.
GovTrack lists Boozman’s enacted sponsored bills and recently introduced legislation; visible recent items include S.1371, S.Res.131, S.Res.57, and S.297, not a Month of the Military Child measure.
Assessments
April was officially recognized as Month of the Military Child during Boozman's current Senate term through presidential proclamations in 2023 and 2024, but the evidence does not show that Boozman wrote, sponsored, or materially advanced congressional legislation to make that designation. Because the promised recognition occurred by executive action rather than the promised legislative route, and without clear Boozman contribution, this merits partial rather than delivered credit.
