This bill would allow the President to award the Medal of Honor to retired Air Force Colonel Robert J. Graham for his actions as a captain on May 1, 1966, during Operation Birmingham in the Vietnam War. It would set aside the time limits in federal law that normally apply to awarding military medals. The bill lists findings describing his close air support missions that day, for which he received the Silver Star, and his 26-year Air Force career.
