Trump signs "Hershel ‘Woody’ Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act"

President Donald Trump traveled to the National Medal of Honor Museum in Dallas on Thursday and signed legislation allowing its foundation to build a monument in Washington, D.C., honoring people who have received the nation’s highest military decoration. The law is named for Hershel Williams, a Marine and World War II Medal of Honor recipient who died in 2022 and had been the last surviving recipient from that war. During the visit, Trump toured the museum and met honorees whose service ranged from the Korean War to the Global War on Terror. The planned memorial, to be financed with private donations and located on the National Mall, would honor award recipients. Trump also received the museum’s Champion of Honor award.
