Additionally, the House considered four bills related to veterans’ benefits, which focus on improving services and support for veterans and the chamber debated two bills out of the Judiciary Committee, one authorizing a new presidential medal of sacrifice and the other facilitating the relocation of a Civil War women’s group.
