Bill 118 HRES 1485, also known as the "National POW/MIA Recognition Day" bill, is a resolution introduced in the House of Representatives. The purpose of this bill is to designate the third Friday of September as a day to honor and recognize prisoners of war (POWs) and those missing in action (MIAs).
The bill emphasizes the importance of remembering and honoring the sacrifices made by American service members who have been captured or gone missing while serving their country. It also highlights the need to raise awareness about the ongoing efforts to locate and bring home those who are still unaccounted for.
If passed, this resolution would officially recognize the third Friday of September as "National POW/MIA Recognition Day" and encourage all Americans to take part in honoring and remembering these brave individuals. This day would serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made by our military personnel and the importance of never forgetting those who have not yet returned home.
Overall, Bill 118 HRES 1485 aims to pay tribute to POWs and MIAs, raise awareness about their plight, and show support for efforts to bring them home. It is a bipartisan effort to honor the service and sacrifice of these individuals and ensure that they are never forgotten.
