Designates a location for a national monument honoring Medal of Honor recipient Hershel Woody Williams.
The problem
Hershel Woody Williams, a highly decorated Medal of Honor recipient and war hero, lacks a designated national monument site to commemorate his service and legacy.
The proposal
The bill authorizes and directs the establishment of a national monument dedicated to Hershel Woody Williams at a location to be determined by relevant federal agencies.
The impact
Veterans, historians, and the public gain a memorial site. Federal land management agencies handle site selection and development. Local communities may see increased tourism and honor.
Recognizes the contributions and sacrifice of Medal of Honor recipients. Creates a lasting tribute to exceptional military valor and heroism. Provides a place for veterans and families to pay respects.
Preserves American military history for future generations. Documents the legacy of distinguished service members. Ensures important historical narratives remain accessible to the public.
Serves as a teaching tool about military history and sacrifice. Inspires civic engagement and patriotism. Provides schools and tourists educational opportunities about American heroes.
May attract visitors and tourism to the selected location. Could provide economic benefits to nearby communities. Creates a focal point for civic gatherings and remembrance events.
Designating federal land for a monument removes it from other potential uses. May conflict with existing land management plans or conservation goals. Could impact recreational access or natural resource management.
Federal agencies must fund construction, maintenance, and operations indefinitely. Ongoing costs could strain limited budgets for public lands. May divert resources from other national priorities.
Determining the appropriate location may prove controversial or difficult. Different communities may vie for the site, creating conflict. Selecting one location may disappoint other regions.
Creates precedent for additional monuments honoring individual service members. Could lead to excessive monument building on federal lands. May dilute the significance of major national memorials.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
