Bill Summary
A bill to provide for the annual designation of cities in the United States as an "American World War II City". Directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to designate at least one city in the United States each year as an "American World War II City" based on the city's: (1) contributions to the war effort during World War II; and (2) efforts to preserve the history of such contributions, including through establishment of preservation organizations or museums, restoration of World War II facilities, and recognition of World War II veterans. Designates Wilmington, North Carolina, as the first such city.
AI Summary
This bill establishes an annual designation process for cities in the United States to be recognized as an "American World War II City." The Secretary of Veterans Affairs, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, will select at least one city each year based on two main criteria: the city's historical contributions to the World War II war effort, which could include defense manufacturing, bond drives, military service from its residents, or the presence of military facilities, and the city's ongoing efforts to preserve the memory of these contributions, such as through preservation organizations, museums, restoring historical sites, or honoring World War II veterans. Wilmington, North Carolina, is designated as the first city to receive this honor.
