To authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to Earl L. Nolte for acts of valor as a member of the Army during World War II.
This bill authorizes the President to award the Medal of Honor to Earl L. Nolte for his acts of valor while serving in the Army during World War II. It specifically waives standard time limits that typically restrict when such military decorations can be granted. The legislation recognizes that Nolte was previously awarded the Silver Star for these same actions, effectively upgrading his highest honor to the nation's most prestigious military decoration.
