National POW/MIA Memorial and Museum Act

# National POW/MIA Memorial and Museum Act (HR 3057) - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would establish a National POW/MIA (Prisoners of War/Missing in Action) Memorial and Museum. If passed, it would create a dedicated facility to honor and commemorate American service members who were captured, held as prisoners of war, or went missing during military conflicts. The museum would serve as both a memorial space and an educational center about these soldiers' experiences. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects military veterans and their families—particularly those with connections to POW/MIA service members. It would also impact the general public by creating a new national museum and memorial site for educational and commemorative purposes.

The Department of Defense and relevant federal agencies would be involved in implementing the facility. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 3057 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Aaron Bean (R-FL). No additional details about specific provisions, funding amounts, or location are provided in the available information.
