Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill authorizes the Secretary of the Air Force to officially recognize certain former Air Force members as honorary members of the Space Force, giving them the title "Legacy Guardian." The legislation applies to Air Force veterans who served in space-related operations and have separated from military service. The bill allows the Secretary to establish regulations defining who qualifies for this designation, set up an application process for eligible individuals or their survivors, and create certificates or insignia to represent the honor. This is purely a recognition honor and does not grant recipients any additional benefits beyond those already established by the Air Force. The bill does not specify any new funding requirements or implementation timeline.
