Could go either way

Commemorative bills for veterans usually get bipartisan support, but they often struggle to get a final vote because Congress focuses on larger issues first.

Key Points

This bill would allow a new monument to be built at Arlington National Cemetery to honor veterans of the Army Security Agency. These soldiers served in important intelligence roles during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Cold War.
The monument would recognize those who served between 1945 and 1976. If the Secretary of the Army cannot find a good spot inside the cemetery, the monument can be placed right outside the entrance instead.
The project will not use any government money. A private veterans group called the National Army Security Agency Association will pay for the design, construction, and all future repairs for the monument.
