To authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to Thomas H. Griffin for acts of valor as a member of the Army during the Vietnam War.

HR 2399 authorizes the President to award the Medal of Honor to Thomas H. Griffin, a former Army captain, for his actions during the Vietnam War on March 1-3, 1969. The bill details Griffin’s repeated exposure to heavy enemy fire while leading troops, directing air and artillery strikes, carrying wounded soldiers to safety, and continuing combat leadership despite being struck three times. It specifies that Griffin was previously awarded a Silver Star but is now being recognized for "acts of valor" that saved over 300 allied soldiers and killed 93 enemy combatants. The bill bypasses standard time limits for Medal of Honor awards under U.S. Code to upgrade his recognition from a Silver Star to the highest military honor.
