Faithful Patriot Campaign Medal Act

HR 4766, the Faithful Patriot Campaign Medal Act, creates a new military service medal for members of the Armed Forces and veterans who served at the U.S. border with Mexico during Operation Faithful Patriot or a related subsequent operation. The bill requires the Secretary of Defense to design, produce, and distribute this medal to eligible service members upon their request, or to their next-of-kin if the service member has died. Individuals must apply through a formal process established by the Secretary to receive the medal, which is purely commemorative and does not confer any additional benefits or status. This is a ceremonial award, not a policy change affecting military operations or benefits.
