United States Cadet Nurse Corps Service Recognition Act of 2025

# United States Cadet Nurse Corps Service Recognition Act of 2025 **What the Bill Does** This bill would officially recognize and honor the service of members of the United States Cadet Nurse Corps, a World War II-era nursing program. The Cadet Nurse Corps trained thousands of nurses between 1943 and 1948 to help meet critical nursing shortages during and after the war. The bill seeks to provide formal acknowledgment of these nurses' contributions to the war effort and public health. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects surviving members of the Cadet Nurse Corps and their families.

These nurses, now in their 90s or older, served during one of the most significant periods in American history. The recognition could also benefit veterans' organizations, historical records, and future documentation of World War II contributions. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee (as of the 119th Congress), meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. Sponsor Michael Lawler (R-NY) introduced the legislation, but no additional details about specific provisions or implementation are available at this stage.
