Medal of Honor pay raise bill passed

Today, President Trump signed Congressman Nehl's bill, the Medal of Honor Act to increase pension to $67,500 from the current $16,880, a neatly fourfold increase.

The bipartisan bill unanimously passed the U.S. House of Representatives in February 2025 and recently passed the U.S. Senate by unanimous consent.

The Medal of Honor is the United States’ highest military award. Army Private Jacob Parrott was given the first Medal of Honor in 1863. Since then, there have been over 3,515 Medal of Honor Recipients, with 63 currently living.

This is the first pension rate increase in 25 years for those served in America's armed forces. This is a well-deserved raise for our real-life superheroes protecting America so people can complain about anything.
