Plain-language change summary

The bill now includes a change that shifts the wording from "to award him with the Congressional Medal of Honor" to "recommend awarding him with the Congressional Medal of Honor." This adjustment highlights that the proposal is suggesting the action rather than directly enacting it. This matters because it clarifies that the bill aims to express support for Major Richard D. Winters receiving the honor, potentially allowing for further discussions or considerations before any formal award is made.
