Congressman Blake Moore Statement on Enactment of the National Medal of Honor Monument Act

Statement

Congressman Blake Moore issued the following statement after President Biden signed the National Medal of Honor Monument Act into law earlier this week:

"Signed, sealed, and delivered to our heroic Medal of Honor recipients across the nation, Congressman Marc Veasey's and my National Medal of Honor Monument Act was signed into law by President Joe Biden. This is a great bipartisan win that will immortalize the sacrifices of America's brave servicemembers. Thank you to all who made this possible!"

"Recognition in our nation's capital for those who received our country's highest award for valor in combat is long overdue. We're tremendously grateful for the bill's sponsors -- Reps. Moore and Veasey and Senators Cornyn and Kaine -- for championing this bipartisan legislation from the beginning, and for President Biden for swiftly signing it into law," said Chris Cassidy, National Medal Medal of Honor Monument Foundation president and CEO. "We are ready to recognize the valor of these great heroes and all those they served alongside with a place of inspiration on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. More importantly, this monument will be a beacon for the enduring values the Medal of Honor represents: courage and sacrifice, commitment and integrity, citizenship and patriotism."
