SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds that— 
(1) 
during 
World 
War 
II, 
more 
than 
18,000,000 women answered the call during a global 
crisis to hold down the home front by working as pi-
lots, engineers, mechanics, code breakers, and more, 
building planes, tanks, munitions, and other equip-
ment needed by United States troops, and serving as 
the backbone of the war effort; 
(2) section 702 of division DD of the Consoli-
dated Appropriations Act, 2023 (40 U.S.C. 8903 
note; Public Law 117–328), authorized the World 
War II Women’s Memorial Foundation (formerly 
known as the ‘‘Women Who Worked on the Home 
Front Foundation’’) to establish a commemorative 
work on Federal land in the District of Columbia 
and its environs to commemorate the service and 
sacrifice to the United States of the women who 
worked on the home front during World War II; and 
(3) locating the commemorative work described 
in paragraph (2) on the National Mall would be a 
respectful extension of the enduring legacy of the 
women who worked on the home front during World 
War II.
