This bill allows the President to award the Medal of Honor to retired Air Force Colonel Robert J. Graham for his actions during the Vietnam War. It makes an exception to the usual time limits so the medal can be given now, even though many years have passed.
The bill explains that on May 1, 1966, during Operation Birmingham, then-Captain Graham flew a badly damaged jet in dangerous weather to protect U.S. troops under heavy attack. He made repeated attack runs, destroyed enemy gun positions, helped stop a large assault, and saved many American lives.
