text: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
      Congress finds the following:
          (1)(A) Private First Class Franklin Runyon Sousley was born on 
      September 19, 1925, in Hilltop, Kentucky. Sousley served as a 
      marine in the United States Marine Corps during the period 
      beginning on January 5, 1944, and ending March 21, 1945. Sousley 
      graduated from Fleming County High School in May 1943 and chose to 
      enlist in the United States Marine Corps. Upon completion of 
      military basic training, he was assigned to Company E, 2d 
      Battalion, 28th Marines, of the 5th Marines Division at Camp 
      Pendleton, California, as an automatic rifleman.
          (B) Private Sousley was promoted to a private first class on 
      November 22, 1944. Pfc. Sousley landed on Iwo Jima on Friday, 
      February 19, 1945, and actively fought in the battle for the 
      islands. During the intense fighting, members of the United States 
      Armed Forces secured Mount Suribachi and hoisted a United States 
      flag on top of the summit on February 23, 1945. On February 23, 
      1945, Pfc. Sousley, alongside Corporal Harlon Block, HM John 
      Bradley, Pfc. Rene Gagnon, Pfc. Ira Hayes, and Sergeant Michael 
      Strank followed orders to raise a larger United States flag so it 
      could be seen over the island. The iconic photograph taken of the 
      six men, while they raised the United States flag attached to a 
      heavy Japanese pipe has led to an immortalized symbol of American 
      bravery, perseverance, and sacrifice endured by members of the 
      United States Armed Forces during the intense battles of World War 
      II. Pfc. Sousley was killed in combat by a Japanese sniper around 
      Kitano Point on March 21, 1945.
          (C) Originally buried in the 5th Marine Division Cemetery at 
      Iwo Jima in plot 9, row 8, grave 2189, on March 22, 1945, his 
      remains were returned to the United States on May 8, 1947, where he 
      was finally laid to rest at Elizaville Cemetery in Fleming County, 
      Kentucky. Pfc. Sousley was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart, 
      the Combat Action Ribbon, the Presidential Unit Citation with \5/
      16\" Silver Star, the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific 
      Campaign Medal with \3/16\" Bronze Star, and the World War II 
      Victory Medal.
          (2)(A) Mr. Troy Bowling was born on July 2, 1926, in Hamilton, 
      Ohio and completed his life's service on June, 17, 2017, at the age 
      of 90 years old. At age 17, Mr. Bowling began his service as a 
      United States Marine and was a proud member of the Easy Company, 
      2nd Battalion, 27th Marines, 5th Division. During the United States 
      campaign to end the war against Japan, Mr. Bowling's unit was among 
      the first to arrive on the beachheads of Iwo Jima.
          (B) While attempting to secure Mt. Suribachi, his unit came 
      under intense and concentrated fire, completely overwhelming his 
      unit. Two projectiles struck Mr. Bowling in the chest and leg, 
      leaving him critically wounded on the battlefield. At that moment, 
      Mr. Bowling said he looked to the heavens and committed to serving 
      mankind for the rest of his life if he survived.
          (C) Miraculously, a combat photographer and medical team then 
      carried Mr. Bowling to the safety of a landing craft where he 
      witnessed the planting of the American flag atop Mt. Suribachi--an 
      iconic image that persists as one of the most legendary and 
      triumphant moments of the war. The United States Marines eventually 
      took control of the island; however, this victory came at a heavy 
      cost as more than 6,800 United States service members gave their 
      lives during the battle of Iwo Jima.
          (D) In keeping faith with his commitment to God made during 
      that battle, Mr. Bowling devoted more than 78,000 hours of 
      volunteer service to others at the Lexington VA Medical Center. For 
      more than 66 years, Mr. Bowling has risen through the ranks within 
      the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization, holding nearly 
      every position possible, including State Commander. Mr. Bowling 
      received the George H. Seal Award for outstanding volunteer, which 
      he received at the 2005 National DAV Convention in Las Vegas and 
      the Lifetime Service Achievement Award from the Department of 
      Veteran Affairs. Mr. Bowling was also nominated and selected to be 
      inducted in the Kentucky Veterans Hall of Fame for his lifetime of 
      service to veterans.
