The National Day of the Cowboy is a day set aside by the United States Senate to pay homage to our Cowboy and Western heritage, as well as to honor working Cowboys and Cowgirls, rodeo athletes, Western musicians, Cowboy poets, Western artists, ranchers, and all others who continue to contribute to the Cowboy and Western culture in America today.

The purpose in supporting the  Cowboy Day  resolution is to encourage recognition and appreciation for all the good that the cowboy represents. By sharing information about the campaign, ceremonies, and celebrations, we hope to ensure that the National Day of the Cowboy achieves the highest possible level of public involvement, awareness, and stature; and is finally passed in perpetuity.
