Mike Bishop, R-Mich.; Sam Johnson, R-Texas; and Tim Walz, D-Minn. The congressmen are working to bring the legislation before the full chamber this fall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMedal of Honor recipients and POWs have earned and deserve nothing less than full military honors,\u201d Walz said in a statement. \u201cAs a retired enlisted soldier of 24 years, I\u2019m proud to join in introducing the Full Military Honors Act. To help ensure we honor the sacrifices these heroes and their families have made for our country, we must pass it without delay.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I realize Congress has its hands full investigating investigators of ongoing investigations, but honestly&#8230; this should not require any significant thought.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stripes.com\/news\/us\/congressmen-work-to-grant-enlisted-moh-recipients-pows-full-military-honors-at-arlington-1.547846\">You can read the entire article HERE.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am honestly dismayed by this policy.\u00a0 Flabbergasted,\u00a0 should full military honors for these veterans not &hellip; <a title=\"Enlisted MOH recipients and POWs denied full military honors at Arlington?\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=81855\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Enlisted MOH recipients and POWs denied full military honors at Arlington?<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":667,"featured_media":81856,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[177,84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81855","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dumbass-bullshit","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81855","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/667"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=81855"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81855\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/81856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=81855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=81855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=81855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
