Recognizing the service of all District of Columbia veterans, condemning the denial of voting representation in Congress and full local self-government for veterans and their families who are District of Columbia residents, and calling for statehood for the District of Columbia through the enactment of the Washington, D.C. Admission Act (H.R. 51 and S. 51), particularly in light of the service of District of Columbia veterans in every American war.

Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, and in addition to the Committees on Rules, Armed Services, the Judiciary, Energy and Commerce, and Veterans' Affairs, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Bill 118 H.Res. 1567, also known as the "Recognizing the service of all District of Columbia veterans" bill, aims to acknowledge the contributions and sacrifices made by veterans who reside in the District of Columbia. The bill condemns the denial of voting representation in Congress and full local self-government for these veterans and their families. It also calls for statehood for the District of Columbia through the enactment of the Washington, D.C. Admission Act (H.R. 51 and S. 51).

The bill highlights the fact that District of Columbia veterans have served in every American war, demonstrating their dedication to protecting and serving the country. Despite their service, these veterans and their families are not granted the same rights and privileges as veterans from other states, including the ability to vote for representation in Congress.

By calling for statehood for the District of Columbia, the bill seeks to rectify this injustice and ensure that all veterans, regardless of their place of residence, are granted equal rights and opportunities. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and honoring the service of District of Columbia veterans, who have bravely fought for the freedoms and values that all Americans hold dear. Overall, Bill 118 H.Res. 1567 serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by District of Columbia veterans and calls for the necessary steps to be taken to ensure that they are granted the rights and recognition they deserve.
