These remembrance days are largely meaningless. This is essentially political clickbait to get everyone riled up on both sides.
Each Congress, Representatives and Senators typically introduce hundreds of measures to recognize, support, honor, or acknowledge individuals, groups, and events with a national day, week, or month.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said in Democrats’ closed-door caucus meeting Thursday morning that leadership will vote for the resolution, but will leave lawmakers to decide for themselves how they plan to vote, Axios reported.
Some Democrats fear that anything short of a unanimous vote for the resolution could be a messaging coup for Republicans.
Fucking worthless Democrats.
Should have at least said yes under the condition of it being after the Jan 6th plaque getting hung up.
That would require a spine.
I thought they lost Mike Pence?
Show me the actual votes, this article sites zero sources.
I propose to celebrate it with Poppy flower necklaces.
Epstein remembrance day coming next
The day of the gurgling gullet.
I’d prefer a resolution for a national day of forgetting Tuberville. Every day. Forever.
