The bill is a memorial from the Washington State Legislature urging Congress to prioritize the equitable treatment of combat-injured veterans by supporting the Major Richard Star Act, H.R. 2102. This act seeks to amend Title 10 of the United States Code to ensure that all combat-injured veterans receive full concurrent receipt of benefits, regardless of their years of service. The memorial highlights the moral obligation to support these veterans, noting that disparities in treatment exist based on the length of service, which can lead to unfair outcomes for those with less than 20 years of service who are medically retired due to combat-related injuries.

The memorial emphasizes that while previous legislation addressed some inequities for veterans with 20 or more years of service, it left others in a disadvantaged position. By calling for a floor vote on the Major Richard Star Act, the memorial aims to rectify this ongoing issue and ensure that all combat-injured veterans receive the support they deserve. The resolution also mandates that copies of the memorial be sent to key government officials, including the President and members of Congress, to advocate for the bill's consideration.
