What changes is this bill making?
  1. 1The monument will be located near the Lincoln Memorial, highlighting its historical significance.
  2. 2This project follows a 2021 law that authorized the foundation to create a commemorative work on federal land in Washington, D.C.
  3. 3The bill overrides a specific section of the Commemorative Works Act to allow this monument's placement.
  4. 4The Medal of Honor is the highest military award for valor in combat, and the number of living recipients is decreasing, making this recognition more urgent.
