Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill gives permission to build a new monument on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The monument is designed to honor the brave men and women who have received the Medal of Honor, which is the nation's highest award for military bravery.
- The monument will be located in a high-profile area known as "the Reserve." Usually, new construction is banned in this part of the Mall to keep the space open, but this bill makes a special exception because of the importance of the Medal of Honor.
- A private group called the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation will be responsible for setting up the monument. While they get a special spot, they still have to follow most federal laws regarding how memorials are designed and maintained.
