Operational notes

For staff planning around future commemoratives:

• Calendar optics: This resolution designated Oct 26, 2025; Senate cleared it on Oct 27—acceptable for symbolic observances, but earlier placement is cleaner if seeking earned‑media value. [1]Congress.gov — S.Res.468 — 119th Congress: Day of the Deployed
