Honor WWII U.S. Army Air Forces Glider Pilots
Received in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Armed Services.
This resolution is a nonbinding statement by Congress honoring the World War II glider pilots of the U.S. Army Air Forces and urging Americans to remember and teach their service. It lists specific missions and sacrifices but does not change any law or create legal rights or obligations. It serves as an expression of recognition and remembrance by both chambers of Congress.
Concurrent resolutions must be approved by both the House and the Senate but are not presented to the President and do not have the force of law; this resolution passed the House and was received in the Senate.
This concurrent resolution honors the World War II glider pilots of the U.S. Army Air Forces for their service and sacrifice, lists major operations in which they took part, and urges Americans to remember and teach future generations about those contributions.
Very likely to be agreed by both chambers, but concurrent resolutions are non‑binding and do not become law; score reflects that legal enactment is not applicable.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative concurrent resolution that clearly states its purpose and provides specific historical context. It uses the expected minimal mechanisms (declarative honor and public urging) without attempting to create legal obligations, appropriations, or programmatic changes.
