HCONRES 103 United States House · 118th Congress

Authorizing the use of the rotunda of the Capitol for the lying in honor of the remains of Ralph Puckett, Jr., the last Medal of Honor recipient for acts performed during the Korean conflict.

HCONRES 103 authorizes the use of the U.S. Capitol rotunda for a "lying in honor" ceremony for the remains of Army Colonel Ralph Puckett, Jr., the last Medal of Honor recipient for actions during the Korean War (1950-1953). The resolution directs the Architect of the Capitol to arrange this ceremony on April 29, 2024, to honor Puckett and recognize the service of over 5.7 million U.S. military personnel who served in the Korean conflict, often called the "Forgotten War." This is a ceremonial resolution with no policy changes, solely granting permission for a specific honorific event.
