To authorize the President to award the Purple Heart to Louis Boria, Jr., for injuries incurred during World War II and the Korean War while a member of the Marine Corps.
HR 4140 authorizes the President to award the Purple Heart medal to Louis Boria, Jr., for combat injuries he sustained during World War II and the Korean War while serving in the Marine Corps. The bill specifically bypasses standard eligibility criteria outlined in Executive Order 11016 to recognize his service. This is a commemorative award for a veteran's wartime injuries, not a policy change affecting broader legislation.
