Lieutenant General Carey Runway Act of 2025
HR 3256, the Lieutenant General Carey Runway Act of 2025, designates Runway 5L/23R at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, as the "Lieutenant General Carey Runway" to honor retired Lieutenant General Richard E. Carey. The bill updates all federal references in laws, regulations, maps, and documents to reflect this new name for the runway. It does not alter military operations, funding, or policy at the airbase. This is a commemorative measure recognizing General Carey's service, including his combat roles in Korea and awards like the Silver Star and Distinguished Service Medal.
