Frequent Questions About The Resolution | American Military Heroes

Question 1

What is the American Military Heroes Act – 2026?

Accepted Answer

The American Military Heroes Act – 2026 is a non-partisan piece of proposed federal legislation that honors the extraordinary sacrifices made by our Armed Forces. It proposes four resolutions: designating Veterans Day as a national holiday on Election Day, providing lifetime tax exemptions for families of the fallen, tax relief for permanently disabled veterans, and tax relief for families of POW & MIA service members.

Question 2

Why We Need The American Military Heroes Act

Accepted Answer

For too long, the men and women who sacrificed everything for our Nation's freedom have received words of gratitude without meaningful action. The American Military Heroes Act – 2026 changes that. It proposes concrete, lasting recognition — not monuments or ceremonies, but real, tangible relief for the families of the fallen, the permanently disabled, and those still unaccounted for.

Our veterans answered the call without hesitation. They left their families, endured unimaginable hardship, and many paid the ultimate price. The least we can do as a Nation is ensure their families are never burdened by federal taxes for the rest of their lives. This is not a partisan issue — it is a moral obligation.

The American Military Heroes Act is our opportunity to turn gratitude into action, and to send a clear message to every service member past, present, and future: America will not forget what you gave.

Question 3

Is this a partisan political effort?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. AmericanMilitaryHeroes.Org is a non-partisan patriotic organization. We honor the sacrifice of all veterans regardless of political affiliation, branch of service, or era of conflict. This legislation is designed to unite Americans across the political spectrum in honoring those who served.

Question 4

Why Should Veterans Day Coincide with Election Day?

Accepted Answer

Every time an American steps into a voting booth, they are exercising a freedom that was purchased with the blood of our veterans. Yet Veterans Day and Election Day have always been separate — one a solemn observance, the other a civic duty. The American Military Heroes Act proposes to unite them.

By designating the 2nd Tuesday of November as Veterans Day, we create a permanent, living tribute at the very moment Americans exercise the rights our veterans died to protect. It transforms Election Day from a political event into a patriotic one — a day when every voter is reminded of the sacrifice that made their vote possible.

This is not about politics. It is about honoring the connection between military sacrifice and democratic freedom — and ensuring that connection is never forgotten.

Question 5

Why Would Veterans Day and Election Day Become a National Holiday?

Accepted Answer

By designating the 2nd Tuesday of November as both Veterans Day and a National Holiday, the American Military Heroes Act ensures that every working American has the opportunity to vote — free from the burden of work obligations — while simultaneously honoring the veterans whose sacrifice made that freedom possible. A National Holiday removes barriers to participation, increases voter turnout, and sends a clear message: the act of voting is itself an act of patriotism. It honors our veterans not just with words, but with the full weight of a national day of recognition.

Question 6

What Would Happen to November 11th?

Accepted Answer

November 11th — Armistice Day — holds deep historical significance as the date World War I ended in 1918. Under the American Military Heroes Act, November 11th would remain a day of solemn remembrance and reflection. The designation of the 2nd Tuesday of November as Veterans Day does not erase November 11th from our national memory — it adds a second, living tribute woven into the fabric of our democracy. Many nations continue to observe November 11th as Remembrance Day, and Americans would be encouraged to do the same, honoring the history of that date while also celebrating veterans at the polls.

Question 7

What does Resolution I — Veterans Day on Election Day mean?

Accepted Answer

Resolution I proposes designating the 2nd Tuesday of November as Veterans Day — coinciding with Election Day — to remind future generations of the sacrifice made to secure their right to vote. It is a powerful symbolic connection between military sacrifice and the democratic freedoms that sacrifice protects.

Question 8

Why not two separate holidays?

Accepted Answer

Having two separate holidays would dilute the powerful message we are trying to send. By uniting Veterans Day with Election Day, every American who casts a ballot is reminded — in that very moment — of the sacrifice that made their vote possible. A separate Veterans Day holiday, while well-intentioned, risks becoming just another day off. Merging them creates a living, breathing tribute woven into the act of democracy itself. It ensures that the connection between military sacrifice and the freedom to vote is never forgotten, year after year, election after election.

Question 9

Who qualifies under Resolution II — Lifetime Tax Exemption for Families of the Fallen?

Accepted Answer

Resolution II would exempt the immediate surviving family members — specifically mothers, fathers, and spouses — of Armed Forces members killed in a declared military conflict from all future Federal Income Tax for the rest of their lives. This is a permanent, lifetime recognition of their loss.

Question 10

How does Resolution III — Tax Relief for Disabled Veterans work?

Accepted Answer

Resolution III provides a Federal Income Tax exemption equal to the percentage of disability, as designated by the Veterans Administration, for veterans who have suffered a permanent debilitating injury in military conflict. For example, a veteran rated at 70% disability would receive a 70% Federal Income Tax exemption.

Question 11

Who is covered under Resolution IV — POW & MIA Families?

Accepted Answer

Resolution IV would exempt the families of POW/MIA service members from Federal Income Tax for the duration of their loved one's declared POW or MIA status. This acknowledges the ongoing sacrifice and uncertainty borne by these families while their loved ones remain unaccounted for.
