U.S. Rep. Barry Moore Introduces Resolution to Establish May as Fallen Heroes Memorial Month
Legislation Garners Support From Multiple Members of Congress
U.S. Representative Barry Moore (R-AL1) introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, April 3o to formally recognize the month of May as Fallen Heroes Memorial Month. The measure aims to honor the service members who have given their lives in defense of the United States.
The resolution has received support from several congressional cosponsors, including Reps. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX2), Randy Weber (R-TX14), Claudia Tenney (R-NY24), Buddy Carter (R-GA1), Stephanie Bice (R-OK5), David Valadao (R-CA22), Morgan Luttrell (R-TX8), and Daniel Webster (R-FL11).
“The freedom we enjoy each day comes with a price—the lives of men and women who are willing to sacrifice everything to ensure our country is safe and prosperous,” said Rep. Moore in a public statement. “This resolution serves as a public recognition honoring the memory of these fallen heroes. Scripture tells us: ‘Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.’ These men and women deserve our deepest gratitude for their service and sacrifice, and I am proud to sponsor this resolution to recognize May as Fallen Heroes Memorial Month.”
Rep. Stephanie Bice echoed Moore’s message, emphasizing the importance of continued remembrance.
“It’s imperative we continue to remember those who have given their lives in service to this great nation,” said Bice. “This resolution allows us to honor and reaffirm the commitment to never forget the sacrifice of those who gave everything to protect our freedoms. I will always support our service members, veterans, and of course, fallen heroes.”
Rep. Randy Weber also underscored the resolution’s significance.
“We must never forget our fallen heroes. These brave men and women gave everything—paying the ultimate price—to defend the freedoms we hold dear,” Weber said. “America is the greatest nation on Earth because of their sacrifice.”
The resolution does not create a new federal holiday, but seeks to formally designate May as a time for reflection and remembrance of those who died in military service. It is currently under review by the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
