Congressional Gold Medal Act. 31 USC 5111 note.>>
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``General Shelton Congressional Gold
Medal Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) General Henry H. Shelton, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, the principal military adviser to the President, the
National Security Council, and the Secretary of Defense, has
displayed strong leadership, competence, and professionalism in
fulfilling his statutory responsibilities throughout Operation
Allied Force.
(2) General Shelton and his subordinates brilliantly planned
and coordinated at the national level the successful air
campaign in support of Operation Allied Force.
(3) General Shelton's leadership, foresight, and
determination were directly responsible for ensuring a decisive
military victory without a single allied combat casualty in
Kosovo in 1999.
(4) As the principal military adviser to the President of
the United States, the National Security Council, and the
Secretary of Defense, General Shelton's assessments, judgments,
recommendations, and determination were invaluable and
instrumental in the unprecedented military victory against the
forces of Slobodan Milosevic.
(5) General Shelton's distinction as a ``soldier's
soldier'', as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and
throughout his military service, including command of the
Special Operations Command, the 18th Airborne Corps at Fort
Bragg, North Carolina, helicopter forces in Operation Desert
Storm, and special forces Green Berets in Vietnam, serves as an
inspiration to the Congress and the people of the United States,
a grateful Nation.
