What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Hershel ``Woody'' Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act. It allows the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation to establish a commemorative work on the National Mall. This monument honors the extraordinary acts of valor, selfless service, and sacrifice displayed by Medal of Honor recipients. The bill specifically dictates that this commemorative work shall be located within the Reserve, overriding certain standard site restrictions. Except for this specific site location rule, the Commemorative Works Act applies to the monument.
