This legislative proposal aims to establish a national hymn for the United States, a designation currently not held by any specific musical composition. The bill specifically names the work known as "Here Rests in Honored Glory" by Donald B. Miller for this prestigious role. This composition, encompassing both its words and music, would become the official national hymn. To implement this designation, the bill mandates an amendment to title 36, United States Code , which pertains to patriotic and national observances. A new section, Section 307 , would be added to Chapter 3 of this title, explicitly stating the designation of "Here Rests in Honored Glory" as the national hymn. This amendment also includes a clerical update to the table of sections within Chapter 3.
