Nicholas Dockery Medal of Honor Act

This bill seeks to authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to Kareem N. Dockery for his exceptional acts of valor. These actions occurred as an Infantry Rifle Platoon Leader in the Army during an ambush in Kapisa Province, Afghanistan, on October 2, 2012. During intense combat, Dockery rallied his forces, defended his soldiers, and engaged numerous Taliban fighters. His heroic actions included assaulting enemy positions, shielding a soldier from a grenade, and performing CPR to save a wounded comrade's life. He also exposed himself to enemy fire to mark positions for air support for friendly forces. The bill specifically waives any statutory time limitations to ensure this prestigious award can be bestowed, acknowledging his heroism that previously earned him the Silver Star.
