Award the Medal of Honor to Doris Miller for his service during World War II.

One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.

What’s happening with this effort?

H.R. 2335 remains in the House Committee on Armed Services where it has not seen action since March 24, 2025. The committee members must vote to move the bill forward, but most bills fail because they never receive a committee vote. This effort has not progressed for 15 months, which is common for legislation that does not reach the floor.
