A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution serves to congratulate the members of the 509th and 131st Bomb Wings for their success in Operation Midnight Hammer. The operation involved a secret departure from Knobster, Missouri, to strike an illegal nuclear weapons program in Iran. This mission required B-2 pilots to fly for 36 hours and perform multiple mid-air refuelings. The operation also involved the deployment of 125 different aircraft and coordination with the Department of the Navy and the Marine Corps. The House of Representatives aims to recognize this service and the readiness of the Armed Forces.
