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 5012 authorizes the President to award the Purple Heart military decoration to Louis Boria, Jr., for combat injuries he sustained during World War II and the Korean War while serving in the Marine Corps. It specifically waives the standard eligibility criteria outlined in Executive Order 11016 for this single case. The bill directly affects Louis Boria, Jr., by enabling him to receive this honor for his wartime service, with no broader policy changes or additional beneficiaries.
