What this bill would do

This bill seeks to authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to Thomas H. Griffin. The authorization is for his acts of valor while serving as an Army captain during the Vietnam War. Specifically, it covers his actions between March 1 and March 3, 1969. The bill notes that Griffin's previous recognition via the Silver Star did not account for the full extent of his actions. By passing this, Congress aims to upgrade his recognition to the rightful level.
