Legislative Progress
While these bills are often respected, many individual award bills do not pass on their own and must be included in larger defense packages.
Key Points
- This bill would allow the government to give the Medal of Honor to Robert Lodge. He was a member of the Air Force who showed great bravery during the Vietnam War.
- The award recognizes his actions on May 10, 1972. Because that was a long time ago, special permission from Congress is needed to get around the usual time limits for this medal.
- This move ensures that a veteran's heroic acts are officially recognized even decades later. It allows the president to present the country's highest military award to Lodge.
