Designates July sixteenth each year as "Atomic Veterans Day"

Summary

The bill would make July 16 each year “Atomic Veterans Day” in Missouri and encourage citizens to hold events recognizing veterans who were on active duty and exposed to ionizing radiation during nuclear testing, who served in the military occupation of Hiroshima or Nagasaki before 1946, or who were prisoners of war there. It seeks to publicly acknowledge the unique contributions of these service members.
