Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.
This resolution is a non-binding statement from the House of Representatives declaring support for National Poppy Day and encouraging people to wear a red poppy the Friday before Memorial Day. It honors past and current members of the U.S. Armed Forces and urges citizens, residents, and visitors to participate. It does not create law, change government programs, or require action by the President or other branches.
This is a simple resolution acted on only by the House of Representatives; it is not sent to the President and has no force of law. It requires only House passage and does not bind federal agencies or the public.
This House resolution expresses support for the goals and ideals of “National Poppy Day,” designating the Friday before Memorial Day for citizens to wear a red poppy.
It honors past and current U.S. Armed Forces members and encourages wearing a poppy as a sign of remembrance and thanks.
As a nonbinding House resolution it is likely to be adopted in the House but does not create law; becoming statute is not the bill's purpose.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-constructed commemorative resolution: it clearly states its purpose, provides historical context, and specifies an observable action (wearing a red poppy the Friday before Memorial Day). It does not include funding, assignment of responsibilities, enforcement, or measurement mechanisms, which is consistent with the nature and scope of a symbolic resolution.
