Recognizing March 25, 2025, as "National Medal of Honor Day"...
A Resolution recognizing March 25, 2025, as "National Medal of Honor Day" in Pennsylvania.
This bill proposes to officially recognize March 25, 2025, as "National Medal of Honor Day" in Pennsylvania. This day honors the recipients of the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration in the U.S., awarded for acts of valor and courage. The bill, if enacted, would encourage events, ceremonies, and educational activities to celebrate this day.
This recognition would affect Pennsylvanians by fostering a state-wide appreciation for the sacrifices made by Medal of Honor recipients. It would also provide an opportunity for schools, communities, and individuals to participate in commemorative activities.
The bill was introduced on January 10, 2025, and has since been referred to the Veterans Affairs & Emergency Preparedness committee. It was reported favorably on January 28, 2025, and adopted by the House on March 26, 2025, with a unanimous vote of 201-0. This marks the end of its legislative journey, with the resolution now awaiting the governor's signature to become law.
