The resolution commemorates "Medal of Honor Day," a federal holiday established to honor the bravery and sacrifices of Medal of Honor recipients, which was signed into law by President George H. W. Bush in 1990. The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States, awarded to armed forces members who demonstrate exceptional gallantry and risk their lives beyond the call of duty. There are three versions of the Medal, corresponding to the Navy, Army, and Air Force, with Rhode Island being home to thirty-five recipients from various conflicts, including the Civil War, World War I, World War II, and the Korean War.

The resolution specifically calls for the House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island to officially commemorate "Medal of Honor Day" and its recipients on March 25, 2025. It also directs the Secretary of State to send certified copies of the resolution to key state officials, including the Governor and the Director of the Rhode Island Office of Veterans Affairs, ensuring recognition and remembrance of the heroic individuals who have received this prestigious honor.
