HB 2514 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Establishing a global war on terror memorial on the capitol campus.

HB 2514 establishes a memorial on the Washington state capitol campus to honor service members from Washington who died in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation New Dawn (collectively termed the "global war on terror"). The bill creates a work group with legislative, veteran, and state agency representatives to plan the memorial’s design, location, funding, and construction. It requires the work group to submit recommendations to the capitol committee by July 2027, including names to honor, potential sites, and budget details. The memorial must also include a reflective component acknowledging veterans who died by suicide after service. This is a commemorative measure with no immediate policy or funding changes.
