A BILL
To expand retroactive eligibility of the Army Combat Action Badge to include members of the Army who participated in combat during which they personally engaged, or were personally engaged by, the enemy at any time on or after December 7, 1941.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. RETROACTIVE AWARD OF ARMY COMBAT ACTION BADGE.
(a) Authority To Award- The Secretary of the Army may award the Army Combat Action Badge (established by order of the Secretary of the Army through Headquarters, Department of the Army Letter 600-05-1, dated June 3, 2005) to a person who, while a member of the Army, participated in combat during which the person personally engaged, or was personally engaged by, the enemy at any time during the period beginning on December 7, 1941, and ending on September 18, 2001 (the date of the otherwise applicable limitation on retroactivity for the award of such decoration), if the Secretary determines that the person has not been previously recognized in an appropriate manner for such participation.
(b) Procurement of Badge- The Secretary of the Army may make arrangements with suppliers of the Army Combat Action Badge so that eligible recipients of the Army Combat Action Badge pursuant to subsection (a) may procure the badge directly from suppliers, thereby eliminating or at least substantially reducing administrative costs for the Army to carry out this section.
There should be numerous benefits specifically for those who served honorably in the war. Our veterans are the reason this Nation is kept safe. One main benefit that all veterans should be entitled to is a great retirement. What better to improve one's retirement than to be living in a beautiful new home in a relaxing community. The opportunity is out there you just need to know where to look. There are multiple communities right in your area that will make you feel like you are on a vacation every time you open the door. People look forward to retirement, which is why people plan for retirement years before it happens. Though once a new home is found, it becomes time to pack up and move. This can become overwhelming at times, know that there are companies standing by to assist you with this move. One credible company that I’ve come across is is JJ Metro.
