Memorializes Congress to pass the Major Richard Star Act to ensure combat-wounded, medically retired service members receive full military.
The resolution urges Congress to pass the Major Richard Star Act, which would allow combat-wounded, medically retired service members to receive both retirement pay and disability compensation without reduction. The act is named after Major Richard Star, who lost significant retirement benefits due to the current dollar-for-dollar offset. The resolution highlights the bipartisan support for the act, with over three hundred cosponsors in the House and seventy-seven in the Senate, and expresses disappointment that the act has not yet been enacted.
