Authorizing the use of the rotunda of the Capitol for a ceremony to award posthumously a Congressional Gold Medal in commemoration to the servicemembers who perished in Afghanistan on August 26, 2021, during the evacuation of citizens of the United States and Afghan allies at Hamid Karzai International Airport.

HCONRES 126 authorizes the use of the U.S. Capitol rotunda on September 10, 2024, for a ceremony to posthumously award a Congressional Gold Medal to 13 U.S. servicemembers who died during the August 26, 2021, evacuation at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Afghanistan. The bill specifically directs the Architect of the Capitol to oversee preparations for the ceremony commemorating their service and sacrifice. This procedural resolution does not create new laws but facilitates a formal recognition event for the families and military community.
