Purpose or general idea of bill

Summary of specific provisions

Justification
The men and women in our armed forces have made many sacrifices over the years as they have been called upon to defend our nation, and fight for American policy throughout the globe. This bill is an effort to recognize the willing sacrifices that these soldiers and sailors and their families have made and provide a way for local communities to express their gratitude. For our communities on Long Island, military families are experiencing the pressures of our high cost of living. With one or more members of a family serving, the ability to make ends meet can be severely strained. This bill is intended to relieve some of that pressure and alleviate the economic hardship due to their service to our country.
