This bill would change federal law (title 10, chapter 57) to give people whose names are on the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard Medal of Honor Roll a common access card (or successor ID) that lets them enter military installations and the Pentagon without being accompanied. The bill also creates a Medal of Honor Liaison in the Department of Defense, appointed by the Secretary of Defense. The liaison's duties listed in the bill include serving as a primary point of contact for Medal of Honor recipients and their families; coordinating within the Department of Defense, across the services, and with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and other federal entities; helping with replacement of military decorations under section 1135; standardizing protocol about Medal of Honor recipients across the armed forces; doing public affairs outreach; and making recommendations to the Secretary of Defense about Medal of Honor recipients serving on active duty, including in combat. The bill defines an "MOH recipient" as a person whose name is on the Medal of Honor Roll under section 1134a.
