HRES 1372 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of July 20, 2024, as "National Heroes Day" to honor the sacrifices of everyday heroes who save lives and improve their communities.

House Resolution 1372 proposes designating July 20, 2024, as "National Heroes Day" to honor everyday people who save lives during emergencies. It recognizes acts of courage from incidents like mass shootings (e.g., Aurora 2012, Uvalde 2022) where civilians protected others. The resolution encourages all Americans to observe the day through community service, displaying the U.S. flag, or other charitable acts. This is a symbolic, non-binding resolution with no new laws or funding.
