This legislation aims to designate a specific, high-profile location for a previously authorized monument dedicated to Medal of Honor recipients. Specifically, the bill would require the monument to be situated within the Reserve, which is the central cross-axis of the National Mall. This area includes the iconic land stretching from the U.S. Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial and from the White House to the Jefferson Memorial.
If enacted, the bill would ensure that the tribute to the nation's highest military award recipients is placed in one of the most prominent and frequently visited areas of the capital. Because the Reserve is generally protected from new commemorative works to preserve its historic open space, this bill would provide the specific legislative exception necessary to build the monument in that location. For everyday citizens and visitors to Washington, D.C., this means the future monument would be easily accessible alongside other major national landmarks.
