The governor shall annually issue a proclamation setting apart April 2 as the Massachusetts Women's Defense Corps Remembrance Day, in recognition of the generous contributions of the approximately 18,000 women who volunteered to train as air raid wardens, drivers, communications personnel, canteen workers, medics, chemical detections personnel and emergency fire fighters, and recommending that the day be observed in an appropriate manner by the people.
