Why This Matters

The Valor Has No Expiration Act helps ensure that military members can still receive awards for their service, even if the requests were delayed due to classified information. This is important for recognizing the contributions of service members who may have been overlooked in the past.

If you are a military member who missed out on an award due to classified records, you could still receive it now.
Who this affects
Active-duty military members
