Bill > SCR25

This resolution recognizes and honors Darwin R. Wall, a Vietnam War veteran from Iowa who later settled in Delaware, for his exceptional military service and recent receipt of the Bronze Star Medal. The resolution details Wall's military career, highlighting that he was drafted at age 21 and served in the military police, specifically with the "Bushwhackers" unit of the 720th Police Battalion, where he initially served in an ambush and reconnaissance unit before becoming a river patrol boat captain. Despite not initially being eligible for combat badges, Wall and his fellow military police veterans were awarded the Bronze Star in 2023 after a lengthy process involving military leaders and a U.S. Congressman, acknowledging their heroic service in combat zones. The resolution emphasizes Wall's humility, his continued dedication to his community in Middletown, Delaware, and his status as the only Delaware recipient of this honor. By formally passing this resolution, the Delaware State Senate and House of Representatives aim to express deep appreciation for Wall's military sacrifice and ensure his bravery is officially recognized and celebrated.
