美国参议院一致通过了参议员吉姆·贾斯蒂斯的法案, 在国家广场建立一个纪念碑以表彰荣誉章获得者. The U.S. Senate unanimously passed Senator Jim Justice’s bill to establish a national monument on the National Mall honoring Medal of Honor recipients. 根据这项法案,国家公园管理局将建造该遗址的费用不包括纳税人所需的资金. Named after West Virginia native Hershel “Woody” Williams, the last surviving World War II recipient, the legislation directs the National Park Service to build the site at no cost to taxpayers, relying entirely on private donations.
