A bill to waive time limitations in order to allow the Medal of Honor to be awarded to Gary Lee McKiddy, of Miamisburg, Ohio, for acts of valor while a helicopter crew chief and door gunner with the 1st Calvary Division during the Vietnam War.

This bill waives the standard time limit for awarding the Medal of Honor to Gary Lee McKiddy, a U.S. Army Specialist Four who died during combat in Cambodia on May 6, 1970, while serving with the 1st Cavalry Division in the Vietnam War. It specifically recognizes his acts of valor between October 25, 1969, and May 6, 1970, particularly his actions on the day of his death. The bill authorizes the President to award the Medal of Honor posthumously to McKiddy, as his service and sacrifice were not previously honored with this distinction. The measure directly affects McKiddy’s family and legacy by enabling the formal recognition of his wartime heroism.
