Hershel ‘Woody' Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act

Sponsored By: Senator Justice, James C. [R-WV]

Became Law

Summary

This law requires the Hershel 'Woody' Williams National Medal of Honor monument to be placed inside the National Mall's Reserve, directing its site to that central, high-profile zone. It keeps the rest of the Commemorative Works Act in force so standard approval, design, and oversight rules still apply.

Show full summary
  • Medal of Honor recipients and families: A memorial will sit within the Mall's Reserve, giving the monument greater visibility and symbolic prominence.
  • Visitors and the public: The monument will be encountered among the Mall's core memorial spaces, shaping where people see and visit it.
  • Agencies and approvals: The Commemorative Works Act continues to govern approval, design, and oversight for the project, with the single exception of the site location.
