Joni Ernst pushes for 'global war on terrorism' memorial on National Mall in defense bill
Fox News
The latest version of the Senate's annual defense bill released Tuesday includes legislation from Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, to build a "global war on terrorism" memorial on the National Mall.
"I was proud to help successfully secure my bipartisan effort to build a #GWOTMemorial on the National Mall in the #NDAA," Ernst said in a Tuesday tweet. "Now is the time to honor those who fought and died in the Global War on Terrorism for their sacrifice. Let’s get it across the finish line."
The Global War on Terrorism Memorial Location Act was first introduced in November 2019 but stalled until this year, when President Biden ordered the full withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan before Sept. 1, ending the country's longest war.
