Plain-English Summary
This resolution calls for recognizing on Memorial Day 2025 that active duty military members, National Guard members, reservists, veterans, and their families living in Washington, D.C. cannot vote for representatives in Congress or have full local control over their government because D.C. is not a state. The resolution highlights the irony that these service members and their families lack voting representation despite their military service to the country.
