Recognizing on Memorial Day, May 30, 2022, the denial of full participation in their Government through statehood by active duty servicemembers, National Guard members, reservists, veterans, and their families who are residents of the District of Columbia.

Bill 117 H.Res. 1140, also known as the "Recognizing on Memorial Day, May 30, 2022, the denial of full participation in their Government through statehood by active duty servicemembers, National Guard members, reservists, veterans, and their families who are residents of the District of Columbia," is a resolution that aims to acknowledge the lack of full representation in the US government for residents of the District of Columbia who have served or are currently serving in the military.

The resolution specifically highlights the fact that residents of the District of Columbia, including active duty servicemembers, National Guard members, reservists, veterans, and their families, do not have full voting rights in Congress due to the district's status as a federal district rather than a state. This lack of representation means that these individuals are not able to fully participate in the democratic process and have their voices heard in matters that directly affect them.

By recognizing this issue on Memorial Day, May 30, 2022, the resolution aims to bring attention to the sacrifices made by these individuals in service to their country and the continued denial of their full rights as American citizens. It calls for greater awareness and support for the push for statehood for the District of Columbia, which would grant its residents full representation in Congress and the ability to participate fully in the democratic process. Overall, Bill 117 H.Res. 1140 highlights the ongoing struggle for equal rights and representation for residents of the District of Columbia who have served or are serving in the military, and calls for action to address this issue and ensure that all Americans have equal access to their government.
