To amend title 10, United States Code, to direct the
Secretary of the Army to establish a combat artillery medal.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The field artillery is one of the oldest and
most celebrated of the Army’s combat arms.
(2) The field artillery was critical to American
success in the ‘‘War to end all Wars,’’ World War
I.
(3) The field artillery also proved to be a deci-
sive factor during World War II, helping the United
States achieve victories in Europe, Africa, and the
Pacific. General George S. Patton Jr. remarked, ‘‘I
do not need to tell you who won the war. You know
the artillery did.’’
(4) The field artillery continued to play a role
in military actions in Korea, Vietnam, and the Per-
sian Gulf and it remains critical to today’s military
efforts.
(5) Despite the past heroic efforts of the mem-
bers of the Army who served in the field artillery,
there is no medal specifically recognizing the con-
tribution of field artillerymen.

date of the enactment of this section, the Secretary shall
issue the medal described in subsection (a) in each case
which is known to the Secretary before such date or for
which an application is made to the Secretary in such

egory of human development based on life expect-
ancy, literacy, and per capita national income.

have had increasing difficulty servicing their debt,
resulting in the total amount of money being owed
by these countries to external creditors to increasing
