On the heels of new assurances from Defense Secretary Mark Esper that he'll support efforts to award fallen Iraq War hero Alwyn Cashe the nation's highest military honor, a bipartisan group of lawmakers has introduced a bill that would clear away the remaining legal hurdles.
Florida Reps. Stephanie Murphy, a Democrat, and Michael Waltz, a Republican, and Republican Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw on Wednesday introduced legislation that would waive a requirement that the Medal of Honor be presented within five years of the heroic action it recognizes.
