Space Force Legacy Guardian Recognition Act
HR 5071, the Space Force Legacy Guardian Recognition Act, creates a process for the Air Force Secretary to designate former Air Force members who supported space operations as "Legacy Guardians" in the Space Force. It applies to individuals who served in space-related roles and separated from the Air Force, allowing them to receive a certificate or insignia acknowledging their service. The bill establishes eligibility criteria (including service dates and constructive credit) and an application process for the individual or their survivor. This recognition is purely honorary and does not grant any additional benefits beyond those specified in the bill.
