Congress finds the following: Nearing two decades after the September 11 attacks against the United States, America continues the Global War on Terrorism, at great personal cost to men and women serving on active duty in the Nation’s Armed Forces and to those whose support they depend upon to fulfill their duties. Civil servants from Federal agencies, the intelligence community, local emergency responders, and other civilian support personnel have made significant sacrifices in their service in the Global War on Terrorism.
Honoring the losses endured by these individuals and their families, in 2017 Congress unanimously passed and the President signed Public Law 115–51 , which allowed the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation to establish a memorial to the fallen on Federal land in the District of Columbia. Given the significance of the Global War on Terrorism as the longest-running conflict in United States history and the magnitude of the sacrifice involved in these operations, it is appropriate to locate the memorial to the Global War on Terrorism within the Reserve alongside existing memorials to the Nation’s major armed conflicts.
