HR 8307 United States House · 118th Congress

Women Who Worked on the Home Front Memorial Location Act

This bill authorizes the placement of a memorial honoring women who contributed to World War II efforts on the National Mall or adjacent federal land in Washington, D.C. It specifically removes a location restriction (under 40 U.S.C. § 8908) to allow the memorial - previously authorized by the 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act - to be situated within Area I of the National Mall or the National Mall Reserve. The memorial would commemorate over 18 million women who worked as pilots, engineers, mechanics, and codebreakers during the war. The bill directly affects the Women Who Worked on the Home Front Foundation, which is tasked with establishing the memorial.
