This resolution honors the service of approximately 30,000 District of Columbia veterans while criticizing the fact that D.C. residents, including military members and veterans, lack voting representation in Congress and full control over local government decisions. The resolution highlights that D.C. residents have fought in every American war since the Revolutionary War, with casualty figures exceeding those of several states in major conflicts like World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. The resolution calls on Congress to pass the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, which would grant D.C. statehood and provide residents with full voting rights in Congress and democratic control over local affairs. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct funding or implementation timeline, though it references that the House has previously passed the D.C. statehood bill twice, in 2020 and 2021.
