Summary of Bill HR 3149

Bill 118 hr 3149, also known as the "National Medal of Honor Highway Act," aims to designate United States Route 20 in twelve states as the "National Medal of Honor Highway." The states included in this designation are Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Massachusetts.

The purpose of this bill is to honor the recipients of the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration awarded by the United States government, by naming a significant highway after them. The Medal of Honor is awarded to members of the armed forces who have displayed exceptional bravery and valor in combat.

By designating Route 20 as the "National Medal of Honor Highway," the bill seeks to recognize and commemorate the sacrifices and heroism of these Medal of Honor recipients. This designation will serve as a reminder to all who travel along Route 20 of the courage and selflessness displayed by these individuals in service to their country. In addition to the designation of Route 20, the bill may also include provisions for the installation of signage along the highway to indicate its new name and purpose. This will help raise awareness and educate the public about the significance of the Medal of Honor and the individuals who have been awarded this prestigious honor. Overall, the "National Medal of Honor Highway Act" is a bipartisan effort to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have received the Medal of Honor and to ensure that their sacrifices and contributions to our nation are never forgotten.
