Recognizing the 80th anniversary of the amphibious landing on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima during World War II and the raisings of the flag of the United States on Mount Suribachi.

H.Res. 142 is a non-binding resolution that would recognize the 80th anniversary of the amphibious landing of U.S. troops on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima in February 1945. The resolution specifically commemorates the historic raising of the American flag on Mount Suribachi that occurred on February 23, 1945, one of the most iconic moments in World War II history.

As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a formal expression of recognition and commemoration by Congress. If passed, it would acknowledge the historical significance of this military operation and honor the service members involved in the campaign. The resolution has been introduced but has not yet advanced to committee action, and most introduced bills do not progress further in the legislative process.
