National Desert Storm War Memorial legislation passes Congress

From National Desert Storm War Memorial: 

The US Senate joins the House of Representatives in passing the legislation authorizing a National Desert Storm and Desert Shield Veteran’s Memorial in Washington D.C. After more than two years of effort we have cleared the two major legislative hurdles, having our legislation passed by both the House and Senate. The language authorizing the Memorial was included in the 2014 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Next the Bill goes to President Obama for signature.  We are optimistic that this will happen by the end of the year.  This legislation only authorizes us to work with the National Park Service to select a site, and allows us to erect the memorial on the selected site.  All costs must be paid for by our fund raising activities!  So our attention will now be focused on that next critical task.
