Message on Senate action sent to the House.
This resolution expresses Congress's support for establishing a National Medal of Honor Day, recognizes and honors Medal of Honor recipients, and suggests March 25 as an appropriate date. It encourages national, state, and local organizations to raise public awareness and recognize recipients. It does not create a federal holiday or change any law; it is a formal, nonbinding statement of support by Congress.
Concurrent resolutions must be approved by both the House and the Senate but are not sent to the President and do not have the force of law. They are used to express the collective views of Congress or handle matters affecting both chambers.
This concurrent resolution recognizes the heroism of Medal of Honor recipients, supports creating a National Medal of Honor Day on March 25, and encourages public education and commemoration of their service.
It is a nonbinding expression of Congress’s support for the goals and ideals of such a day.
Concurrent resolutions are nonbinding and do not become statutory law; passage by both chambers is likely but not a lawmaking outcome.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a clearly articulated commemorative concurrent resolution that appropriately confines itself to nonbinding recognition and support for a National Medal of Honor Day, with a proposed date and supporting facts.
