A Resolution recognizing March 25, 2025, as "National Medal of Honor Day" in Pennsylvania.
This Pennsylvania House Resolution (HR 2) designates March 25, 2025, as "National Medal of Honor Day" within the state.

The resolution has no binding effect or new policy requirements; it solely serves to honor recipients and their service through a ceremonial designation. It does not directly affect any individuals or alter existing laws.
