## Summary

**Veterans Get Outside Day** designates the second Saturday in June to connect veterans with parks and outdoor activities and urges the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Forest Service, and the Department of the Interior to promote the day alongside National Get Outdoors Day. The resolution cites high rates of traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress, depression, and suicide among veterans and highlights evidence that even a single day outside can improve mood, reduce isolation, and lower suicide risk.
