This bill, the Robert Lodge Medal of Honor Act, would allow the President to award the Medal of Honor to Robert Lodge for actions on May 10, 1972, during the Vietnam War. The bill specifically waives the time limits in 10 U.S.C. 9274 that might otherwise prevent the award. The bill text does not include a detailed description of the actions for which the medal would be awarded.
If the bill becomes law, the President could give the Medal of Honor to Robert Lodge for the stated date in 1972. The bill text does not say it changes any other benefits, rights, or rules for other people.
