A resolution congratulating the members of the 509th and 131st Bomb Wings for successfully completing Operation Midnight Hammer.
HRES 591 is a symbolic House resolution congratulating the 509th and 131st Bomb Wings for completing "Operation Midnight Hammer," a military operation targeting Iran's nuclear program. It recognizes these units for their role in a successful mission involving B-2 bomber flights, including 36-hour missions with mid-air refueling, to disrupt Iran's nuclear activities. The resolution does not create new policy, funding, or obligations - it is purely ceremonial, acknowledging military service without altering laws or government actions. It directly affects the named military units and their personnel by formally recognizing their operation.
