Summary of Bill HR 6118

Bill 115 hr 6118, also known as the "American World War II Heritage City Act", is a proposed piece of legislation that would authorize the Secretary of the Interior to designate at least one city in the United States as an "American World War II Heritage City" on an annual basis. The purpose of this designation is to honor and recognize cities that played a significant role in the history of World War II and to preserve the memory of the sacrifices made by Americans during the war.

The bill does not specify the criteria for selecting a city for this designation, but it does require the Secretary of the Interior to consult with relevant stakeholders, including historians, veterans organizations, and local governments, in making the designation. Once a city is designated as an "American World War II Heritage City", it would be eligible for federal funding and resources to support the preservation and promotion of its World War II history.

In addition to designating cities as "American World War II Heritage Cities", the bill also includes provisions for the establishment of a national registry of World War II historic sites and the creation of a grant program to support the preservation and interpretation of these sites. Overall, the goal of Bill 115 hr 6118 is to honor the legacy of World War II and ensure that future generations understand and appreciate the sacrifices made by Americans during this pivotal moment in history.
