Resolution · 119th Congress · HRES 1407
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the current design concept for the National Global War on Terrorism Memorial fails to adequately honor the profound sacrifice of members of the United States Armed Forces, and demanding a redesigned monument that clearly and unmistakably honors the valor, combat reality, and distinct sacrifice of post-9/11 veterans.

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis resolution states the view of the House of Representatives that the current design concept for the National Global War on Terrorism Memorial does not properly honor post-9/11 service members, veterans, and Gold Star families. It calls on the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation, the Commission of Fine Arts, and the National Capital Planning Commission to reject or substantially change design proposals that focus on landscape architecture instead of depicting military service. It also states that the final memorial design must visibly show the physical sacrifice, combat gear, and collective efforts of those who served. As a 'sense of the House' resolution, it expresses an opinion and does not create binding law.
